The summer would bring the carnival into our sleepy town & the metal heads would go to the game booths to throw darts, spin wheels, shoot water & pellet guns & sink basketballs just to get our hands on some cheap Rock memorabilia. Pins, posters, mirrors, hats, flags, jewelry, anything with our favorite band’s image or logo would do.
Never mind that this stuff was made cheaply (see above, nice pentagram!), it was some of the only music merchandise available to us poor kids.
The mirrors were always a prized possession. Although most of them were just a plain graphic on some old recycled/cut-up door mirror or something, there were usually ones of slightly higher quality that would cost more to win or buy. Memory tells me that this is where the below Too Fast For Love mirror came from.
