Social D lost me after Mommy's Little Monster. I could never really get into the rockabilly Social D.

I remember as a kid going to punk and hardcore shows and wondering "who the fuck is that old guy by the bar? what is he doing here?" as I skanked it up in the pit... now I am that old guy and I can see kids asking themselves that same question I did...

that's because the rockabilly Social D is as boring as Death Cab for Cutie.

Mackie Osborne actually designed the Social Distortion skeleton... It was something she drew on a postcard and sent to Ness a few years back---- They ended up using it and I don't think she ever got anythig for it... don't think she minds though

A few years back? Try like over 20 years back.

Rock star's security threat
Henry Rollins ... the rock star was reported to Australian anti-terrorism authorities for reading a book on the rise of militant Islam.

American hard rocker and political activist Henry Rollins says a fellow passenger on his flight out of Auckland reported him to Australian anti-terrorism authorities for reading a scholarly work on the rise of militant Islam.

Rollins, who flew to Melbourne soon after performing at Auckland's Big Day Out on January 20, described the experience in a blog he runs on his own website, henryrollins.com.

Rollins wrote that he received a letter from an Australian government worker informing him that the passenger sitting next to him during the flight reported him to a national security hotline.

The book, Jihad: The Rise Of Militant Islam In Central Asia, by Ahmed Rashid, a New York Times columnist, was published by the Yale University Press. It canvasses how extreme poverty and religious suppression in the areas surrounding Afghanistan have created a breeding ground for militant Islam.

Rollins wrote that while touring the series of Big Day Out shows across Australia, he was told by a "nice woman" who worked "in one of those government areas that deals with anti-terrorism matters" that he had been dobbed in.

He said the official told him that, though her department did good work, it also received a lot of letters "submitted by lunatics".

"Please tell your government and everyone in your office to go f--- themselves," Rollins replied.

"Tell them twice. If your boss is looking for something to do, you can tell him I suggest he go f--- himself. Baghdad's safer than my hometown and your PM is a sissy."

Yeah, I seem to remeber there being a bit of a Misfits boycott in the Bay Area. Somethign about Jerry htting somebody over the head with his base at an S.F. gig.

I never cared because the Misfits were amazing.

I didn't get into them untill I was livin in Hawaii and any of the 7 people who started bands would play Ghouls night out or a few others. Sub Club,think Death Angel may have played there

Didn't the drummer from Sonic youth play with the Crucifucks, or am I losing my mind?

Yep, Steve Shelley went from the Crucifucks to SY.

i never got to see them. they never went to DC very often.

Huh?! That's kooky. I saw 'em 3 times and that was in Florida, for god's sake. Most bands wouldn't come south of Atlanta back in those days. Sadly, it's STILL kinda like that. Not as bad.
