"The coroner said it was on Sunday
but I don't believe it's true /
The 15th day of May
wasn't odd enough for you /
I prefer to believe you left us
on a day with a little more teeth /
I prefer to believe that you checked out
on Friday the 13th, yeah Friday the 13th..."
RIP Chad Ferguson, drummer

As @sk-76.bsky.social points out, the t-shirt reposted below derives it wording from the following Ramones number--the Ramones' next best song about huffing after Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue...

An early "flee! Flee!" cover image, predating the "flee! FLEE!" movie poster art of the 1950s.

There are familiar pictures from Altamont, but Elizabeth Sunflower hung around to capture the aftermath of the chaos. Comedowns and detritus,like any festival, but in retrospect freighted with epochal poignancy.

Here's Joe Carducci's take on the late Bruce Loose of Flipper--not just in San Francisco, but during Loose's earlier trek to Portland, too. Includes a couple of excerpts from Loose's upcoming memoir (his collaboration with @leavinghashurt.bsky.social). A punk-freak sneak preview, so to speak...
