About Me


People like to read about the legends. They print the legends. Legends are lies. You make something a legend, then you make it something beyond you, something you can’t do. But you can. There’s no legend to punk rock. We were all just doing it. You can have punk rock now. Just got to do it. Fuck the legend. Pedro punk was practical punk. It wasn’t ‘legendary’ punk. We worked and paid our bills. Living at home with your mother was an insult in blue-collar world. We made noise, had fun, tried to live loud, but we kept our jobs. Pedro punk was workingman’s noise.
-Gary Jacobelly
