Every ska band needs a skinny bald white guy running around playing trombone. I don't make the rules.

I don't think they ever gigged outside the Bay Area. Much to my disappointment at the time, as I would have been one of those hardcore heads showing up. Folks at the Golden Road raved about them, naturally.

Didn't Barry "The Fish" Melton (attorney at law) send J. Mascis, et al a cease-and-desist letter forcing the "Jr" appendage? I remember our hippie Dinosaur(s) put out a record on Relix around the time, had a few Hunter originals, Cipollina was in the band as well.

Rick would have written a banger of a post riffing on the scenario.

Probably would have gone over no better than Sonic Youth opening for Neil Young.

They were generally not very straightforward in their live shows, despite what their record was like at any given time.

In 87 the GD didn't really have "openers" - not counting the double bills with Dylan and one-offs like the August run with Santana. 88 and 89, that seems more possible: lots of fun openers.

Hard to imagine the Puppets' late-80s sound in a football stadium. A few years later, with radio friendly material like "Blackwater," maybe.

Time needed to ferret out AI-hallucinated case authority is certainly billable. If you are actually checking your work, not as much of a time saver. Just wait for more judges to get caught issuing AI-slop. 🍿🍿

2 is the way. Petrichor is probably my favorite 3.0 composition.

Dudes with chainsaws. What could go wrong?

Freedom Hall, 1974: “It’s a Sin Jam” sounds like someone was listening to Roy Buchanan.

Certainly, those people who have the ambition to work for these dipshits.

omg, it ain’t right how hard that made me laugh.

I first saw them 2 years ago in a 400-capacity venue. It was packed and folks were singing along with their songs, so clearly, they were on to something.

I guess more and more folks are sold on Geese.

My kingdom for a several TB capacity iPod Classic. My 250GB Classic still perfectly streams PCM to my home stereo system.

Might have been triggered because my kid had been in the EU for more than 2 mos.

I suspect it is more about that good 'ol chilling effect.
