I've met a bunch of people. I've been to Rodney Anonymous' (Dead Milkmen) parent's house, Corrosion of Conformity stayed at my apartment...but they were jerks, I hung out with Fugazi a couple of times, met Lords of Acid, talked on the phone to Jello Biafra, and I met Lane Staley...I think I met some more people...but I can't remember right now....

I was really big in the punk scene in the 80's...like...hung out with the bands big in the scene. Don't know how I'm still alive...but I sure have some crazy stories...eeeegads! I'm gonna feel old here in a minute! Oh...whatever...I'm still a rocker at heart .

Chicago had an awesome punk rock scene....FLASH BACK

I was never around that area...just the Delaware, Philly, Baltimore, DC areas.

It's funny, I didn't get into punk until the last few years. I blame it on the POS skater bands that I hated growing up that claimed to be punk (Greenday, Blink 182, etc.) Because of them, I thought I hated it. I had to get old enough to go back to listening to the bands that I liked growing up (Nirvana, Flipper, Soundgarden) and then look into the bands that influenced them before I knew real punk. Is it sad that at 29 I can still relate to it?

No...that is a good thing...I mean, are you asking are you too old to relate to it or to young to relate to it? You're never too old...look at some of the rockers out there...still kickin at 60 years old. Most of my friends from the old scene are in their 40's and some of them are still in punk bands...one of my friends now runs a really big club in NYC. As far as being young and not having actually been into it during that era...if you can appreciate it and understand what it's about...that's all that matters. I actually like some of the pop-punk bands, though. They aren't true hardcore, but they have there own style to offer. I think your asking if your too old though...if your too old...then I'm just plain pathetic...lol. I may not walk around with a mohawk anymore...but I will always have my punk roots...I will always relate to that music. Soccer mom on the outside...rocker within .

So there was this article in our local paper about this bar at the beach that is having punk bands play now...and they started talking about some of the old bands around here in the 80's. Now let me preface what I am about to say with the fact that I was wild in my teens...in my punk days, to say the least. Anyway, so in the article, it says that Bob Mould from Husker Du wrote an autobiography recently and in it he mentions his escapades in the punk scene in Rehoboth (that is the beach here) in DE in the 80's. So, I'm like..."We hung out with Husker Du in the 80's?". So, I message my friend from the old scene on facebook...and I say..."Did we hang out with Bob Mould from Husker Du in the 80's...because he claims he hung out with us." And my friend is like..."Well, we were the only punk scene in Rehoboth in the 80's...I guess so. I don't remember." So...now I have to buy this book and see what it says. Like I said...those were some wild days...for all I know...Husker Du was living in my beach house for a week.
