1990 or 1991>>The day i almost lost my life in a car accident. Me & Curt from Full Force. We were driving back from a Manhattan niteclub called Bentleys & when we dropped off our friend Keith Cummimgs to his Brooklyn residence, i fell asleep in the passengers seat only to wake up in the street with my forehead split open close to my eye bleeding like a faucet. Didnt know where the hell i was when i woke up but i knew i was in the street,with my favorite jacket ripped to shreads,my chest,legs,whole body grated like chop meat. I pulled a groin & thigh muscle too. Fell asleep again then woke up in a gourney then in a hospital bed all jacked up. Curt was in hospital bed next to me but with curtain seperating us. When we found out each other was in the same space,i said his name.....CURT??? Then he said in a gummy stifled kind of way>My Teef Are Gone just like that. My TEEF are gone lololol lol its funny now but not back then. Curt lost all his teeth. My hospital pillow was soaked with blood with the flesh from my forehead hanging over my eye like Slick Ricks eye-patch & when the doc saw me,he said....whoa i can see straight through to your noggin(My brain). Doc didnt know how the stiches were gonna look or get done smoothly. Flashback>Curt said when he was driving the suzuki jeep at the time through a mid section in Brooklyn....a SUV came speeding out of no where and smashed into the passenger side HARD & the force threw us frontwards out of the jeep as the top of jeep flung open with one of the screws slightly latching onto my skin of thy forhead in the process. As me & Curt was thrown out of his jeep,That other vehicle smashed our jeep into a telephone pole where that bad boy just wrapped around that telephone pole & stayed there. If we would of had on our seatbelts,we would of been dead. (Not sayin that u should not wear ur seatbelts cause u should. That was just 1 of those lucky instances.) Eventually Me & Curt were released from Hospital i think after a week. We both are truly lucky to be alive. Thank You God. In this pic,my 2 beloved brothers Bee & Paul at the hospital by my side. (Look at my beads behind my ear,they survived without a scratch. lol) I could have been a goner. I remember when Paul first came into the hospital after the accident and he saw my face. I was talking regular because of shock & didnt know what i looked like but by his expression i later discovered that i looked like The Bloody Thing from Scary Movie. He said all he could see was my teeth through all the blood that covered my face & was dripping down on the pillow & floor. Thats why to this day,i wear a hat to shield my forhead scar. Though folk especially my mom tells me that nobody can see the scars & i should stop wearing a silly hat all the time,i still remain self conscious of my head scars. Now everybody will always tell me....Lou i dont see anything I dont see any scars but there was only one honest person that told me. It was Doc Ice aka Doc Reeves of UTFO. After folk would tell me that they never saw any scar or stiches,i once asked Doc. I said...Doc do u see any scar on my forehead?? And without any kind of hesitation, he said...YUP,ITS RIGHT THEREas he put his index finger right on my scar tissue while he was laughing. lol I laughed too because it confirmed my self consciousness. lololol I still remember Docs ET fingers on my forehead while grinning to this day. lololol
