Bill Stevenson
Black Flag's fifth drummer was South Bay native Bill Stevenson. A Mira Costa High School student and avid fisherman, he frequented Jerry Morris' bait shop and ended up working there alongside Keith Morris. Stevenson first auditioned to drum for Panic in summer 1978, at age 15, after Brian Migdol had left the band. His audition turned into a drunken jam session including members of Panic and The Last, and the position of drummer in Panic ultimately went to Robo. By late 1978 Stevenson had joined the Descendents, who made their onstage debut as an opening act at Black Flag's second performance, at a San Pedro community center in February 1979.

To pay the doctor’s bill and tide me over.

I just want to get settled in my life....”

It’s time to take the window to see Leerie going by;
For every night at tea-time and before you take your seat,
With lantern and with ladder he comes posting up the street.”
