A punk fan looks at 50.

So many people my age are content to listen to the same crap they heard in high school. I guess I do to but mostly punk from my college days.
I am looking for the new and interesting bands as well... If my musical tastes stopped in 1981, I would have missed out on so much great tuneage. Yes I love the Clash. Black Flag. Fear. But new stuff comes around all the time. So in the second half century of my life I vow to keep up the search for the most interesting and vital sounds around. Maybe I can start a great punk band when I retire from my day gig. You have to stay young.

Time to move beyond Assault Weapons

In light of the murder of 20 children in Newtown now is the time to ban assault weapons and  large capacity magazines. These serve no purpose for sporting or self defense. We need a realistic view of the Second Amendment. Now is the time.

ThePolkaholics- Still Rule the World!

Sitting here eating breakfast and listening to some old Polkaholics. I had forgotten how much fun their tunes are. A mix of punk attitude and polka from Chicago. Keep rockin' it guys!

Back at Ya!

Back at ya!
I have been posting all my stuff on facebook for a while but it has become increasingly boring. As Steely Dan would say, "the dreary architecture of your soul". Still on there, but not the place for music or politics. My friends and old school mates are too conservative and negative about those sort of things. They are stuck in their classic rock and Republicanism. That's ok. Still good people. Anyway, looking forward to firing up the old blogger again!

Start where you are...
Use what you have...
Become the change that you want to see in the world.

Enough for Everyone's Need, Not for Everyone's Greed...

Live simply so that others may simply live.

Become the Media

Don't listen to the one-sided corporate-owned media. They are not in the business of finding the truth. They are only concerned about making money for themselves and their stock holders. If they do report the truth, it is only because it suits their business plan. A happy accident...
Become the media! Blog it, film it, record it...
You still have credibility... They don't.
