I have a great fondness for the "Everything Went Black" double LP.

No Rollins. It rules.

Ginn recorded as "Dale Nixon" on some releases.

"Greg Ginn" spelled backwards is the n-word, bookended by the letters "n" and "g".

That's why I was wondering if it was a pseudonym, because it seems like something I can imagine Ginn doing. Despite being a shit-hot punk guitarist, he is also a man of questionable taste.

Nigger G? Seems a bit pre-emptive of the whole gangster rap scene.

Wait, really? Wasn't Greg Ginn's mom paying for a lot of their touring?

Is that so? I'm not so sure that's entirely true.
If it is, does it really matter? If Ann Coulter gave me a million fucking dollars and told me to play music every evening of my life at a different venue for several years it would still be a mildly impressive feat. Especially if a lot of the audiences were hostile. Plus the police harassment.

Like I always tell the kids though, beyond Bad Brains and Minor Threat I don't really see any reason to listen to Hardcore.

What a cock load of shit.

I can't believe anyone would ever listen to this.

Ever.

Yes, I realize that. I thought you meant the post was racist.

I don't know if Black Flag suck or not but I certainly could have done without seeing Henry Rollins in that bathing suite.
