yes he did. tower was a good place. it was the only chain with tatooed and pierced kids. catalog was important to them to maintain. mall stores concentrated on new releases and not every city had the gift of a good independent store. i'm most sad about tower sunset. i worked for the la region and planned many instores at tower sunset. that store opened in 1970 and was the most rock n' roll store in the world. i met clapton, jeff beck, rod stewart, steve earle, joe strummer, etc etc etc. that store was the cornerstone of the sunset strip. supposedly the plan for that lot is condos.
