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.

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!
