Neil turned me on to them in '85. Their music speaks to me. I don't know... just listen to it. It's fuck'n beautiful.

I read it when I was in a very fragile state. It's a memoir and the guy's story just gave me hope.

It's an insightful, sensitive film about real kids dealing with real problems. Ha! Plus, I believe it's Winona Ryder's first film.

Rest easy, Jeff... And thank you.

Epic comment. I remember the Transworld cover well.
Grosso was rad. His calling out wackness should be kept alive!
Always been a fan of Jeff's.
The way he skated in his prime was incredible, but he had so much more to offer skateboarding, and the world.
Thanks for posting these, Eric, the first interview is new to me.
We really lost the best dude, he loved skateboarding.
RIP Grosso!
Here's the Grossos Afterlife from Big Brother April 1998.

I remember that skateboard mag interview, about a year after I got into skating. No idea who he was or what he did, but I never forgot that story of his wife shooting up with a gun to her head. Not condoning that but man, what a crazy ride he had.
Atte that Big Brother interview was great, too. Gonna do right for the man.
Thanks all... and extra credit to Atte for sending that BB piece over. Super sick.
I went ahead and added it to the proper post. Thanks again.
Thank you Chops
Re: Google Image Search for the drop in. That was so weird.
I bet that troll probably spends a lot of time on the Slap message boards.
