over here, he's like a favored son or whatever...he did these specials taped all over the world w/bees, sharks and monkeys; i guess he's closest to a (real, fucked-up) celebrity now than ever but i don't care. his attitude is still 'fuck off;' i love it. :wub:

I really enjoy punk rock. Of course, I listen to basically everything listenable. My favorites include Ramones, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Blink 182 (Pop-punk, yeah) and Rancid.

For me it'll have to be Dead Kennedies, Black Flag and Pennywise. I fucking love Pennywise, as far as I'm concerned, that band can do no wrong, to the point that I'm seriously considering a PW tattoo. If only I could persuade the Mrs to let me....how punk am I...

there's what they call an 'old punk movement' still in existence here in the UK and that's one of the main reasons i love living here. nobody looks at me as if i'm crazy. when i last visited my fam in NYC (last february), three different people (all strangers) came up to me on the streets and asked me what band i'm in. i was all WHAT THE FUCK? they ALL went 'your hair' and i tried to be nice but couldn't prevent rolling my eyes. morons.

Oh man that shit pisses me off. My favorite though is if I'm wearing a band t-shirt and people start shouting lyrics at you from across the street. Or, even better, they come over to you and start talking about the band and you have to correct them every step of the way.

i'm listening to 'pretty vacant' and 'god save the queen' as we speak. and then it's off to the Clash and Sandinista and the Sex Pistols live at Shepherd's Bush (london, ages ago).

Great story on punk rock roots and Link Wray ... he was the real deal ....

Link Wray: How a One-Lunged Shawnee Indian Invented Punk

The story of Link Wray, “Rumble,” and the meanest D-chord ever recorded

It seems unlikely that you could draw a straight line between the roaring, shredded power chords wrenched out of the ’53 Les Paul wielded by a Korean War vet in 1958 to Steve Jones’ “punk” rock riffs with the Sex Pistols on his Les Paul nearly two decades later. But Fred Lincoln “Link” Wray, a half Shawnee Indian born dirt poor in rural North Carolina, changed rock guitar forever with his ’58 instrumental hit “Rumble.” Even the leather jackets adopted by bands like the Pistols and the Heartbreakers were a throwback to Link Wray, the other Man in Black, as were the riffs and power chords he pummeled into existence with the Wraymen, which included his brothers Vernon and Doug.

The unrepentant father of distortion and the power chord was born to semiliterate street preachers and started playing guitar at age eight, when a black circus performer named Hambone showed him a few chords and how to play slide guitar.

Link Wray died in Denmark, his adopted home, in 2005 with his fourth wife, Olive Julie. He had never stopped playing guitar, touring regularly to capacity theater crowds, and was the rare cult figure who ..................................

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
