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...

Shared your post about Winterland with a friend. He enjoyed. A couple of his additional observations--the basic gist of which you may already be well aware of, but chose not to include within this specific piece:

I loved Kalamazoo where we watched Sebadoh have a fist fight amongst themselves, DOS in some little bar, and watching a bunch of American kids taking about Glasgow bands after a Pastels gig with the same enthusiasm as we spoke of American bands! Oh and being taken to this kid by Mary Lou Lord…
