I am here for Friends

About Me

Yep, another old guy semi-retired from the punk scene. Spends free time listening to old vinyl (still got it all) old punk on CD and watching videos of subterranean heroes of my misspent youth. But it could be worse, really...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

myself when I was 18 years old

Music:

Bad Brains, B-52's, Johnny Cash, Stompin Tom Connors, Damned, Detroit area hardcore, DOA, Slim Dusty, Effigies, Generation X, Germs, Diana Krall, Metallica, Misfits, Negative Approach, Pogues (Shane MacGowne rules), Ramones, REM, Lou Reed, Social Distortion, Steely Dan, Stranglers, Vandals, Suzanne Vega, Velvet Underground, X-Ray Specs, Dwight Yoakam, Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention, John Zorn, spanish salsa music, good jazz, celtic music --- get Sirius Radio for PUNK 29 channel - it's all of the classic punk that I just live for...

Books:

where do I start... used to read everything from cereal boxes on up... miss the leisure time needed for a good read BUT a few recent ones were "I, Shithead" by Joe Keithley from DOA & the Dee Dee Ramone book (forget title) Sure I have another to read here somewhere... suggestions?

Heroes:

anyone who has the guts to do what they want in life without trampling on anyone else to do it... it's a tough go and sometimes we do things that piss others off but need to be done... other times, people piss us off and it make us do the things we should have done... tough balance MOST IMPORTANT "do SOMETHING, even if it's wrong"
