Remember that old Saturday Night Live skit?

They would tape the news in advance because Walter Cronkhite had shit to do.

"Former President Harold Ford died today at age __"

Yeah. That was a good one...

I think that is how they are leading the story on NBC.

I mean Gerald Ford.

Harold Ford ran for senator in Tennessee. Where I live.

I fail.

Black Flag isn't one of my fave bands, but I enjoy both the records of theirs I own, 'In My Head' and 'Damaged'. I like 'In My Head' better.

I like what they (mostly Greg Ginn) accomplished in helping to successfully create an underground system for bands when it barely existed. They definitely went through more than most bands and I respect them for that.
I only have The First Four Years, and I have no idea what to say about it. On one hand, it's a powerful, intense and exciting punk rock album. On the other, the anger to me (except with Keith Morris) is seeping with frustrated suburban kid tantrums. All the songs that start out with talking are just embarrassing, because it sounds like the singer's mad about not being invited to a pool party or something. Not to say that spoiled suburban kids don't make great music, but I don't like it when the rage is so specific to that. I should hear some Rollins albums, though.

One thing I was wondering: Is 'Greg Ginn" a pseudonym? I know his brother went by Pettibon. Spell 'Greg Ginn' backwards.

Pettibon is the pseudonym.

Pettibon is the pseudonym.

I would see a band called Pettibon is the Pseudonym
