I was expecting some hookers to come out of that limo. That'd been better than seen some old punks feeling all "important" in this very "important" event.

Who fucking rents a white limo to go to a "punk show"?

A bunch of older people who don't want to dick around with trying to park their car in places where parking is already tight and plan on drinking heavily that night, that's who. Hailing a cab is not the easiest thing to do in a lot of locations in Chicago either.

So they had a good time. So what?

I think it's kind of funny actually.

They should have worn tuxes just to really piss people off. Perhaps with a big anarchy sign on the back. heheheh

I would very much appreciate directions towards this schematic.

This is the place I got the schematic.

Everything they say about it is true. It is an incredibly destructive fuzztone.

General Guitar Gadgets has a kit. I can't vouch for it...yet. But I just ordered one.

I have a SuperFuzz and the description pretty much fits it too.

No sustain... it just goes "BBEOUNGHT! BBEOUNGHT!" or "KKKKTTTSSS!"
I love it.

It's out there now, and I agree with the "on me" about finding it.

Check out the last track on the first side of the Group Doueh record on Sublime Frequencies. Angus Jung and I had the exact same response on opposite sides of the continent, that response being FUUUUUUUUCCCKKKKK.

I just checked this band out. The second song of the three sampled electrified me.

I should post this again here since it's a slice of the Weirdo Minneapolis Punk from 1982:

Rifle Sport 7th St. Entry 1982

Talk about misfits..

If I had known you were going to be a dick about it I wouldn't have posted the link. It was a movie premiere with an after party.

I was at the show and after seeing the vehicle parked outside that was the first thing that crossed my mind.

Forgivness for my dirty thoughts!!!

As for the old timers, props for not being like my parents.

Another review of the film.

That review mentions the legal drinking age in Chicago being lowered from 21 to 19.

Is that still the case in Chicago?

No. I don't remember exactly when it went from 21 to 19 (for beer and wine only), but it reverted back to 21 for everything 2 months or so after I turned 19 in 1979. This was in March, I believe, when it reverted back. Thank god I had already started going to clubs by then, I was already well known at that point and the owners would let me slide.

I think the reason it went back to 21 was because that period of time was the start of the push to make the drinking age uniform across the U.S. at 21 years of age. Also, I think the bars, and, by extension, the police, were having difficulty managing a two-tiered drinking age system, one for beer and wine, and one for hard liquor. If a bar really wanted to enforce it, they really needed to either card you every time you got a drink, or establish, through hand stamps or some other system, who was over 21 and who was under. I'm sure it was a pain in the ass for anyone who owned a bar.
