Really loved the Husker Du episode, and anything with Lori Barbero - I'm so there! #HuskerDu #HardCorePunk

"With the #punk thing it was the opposite... You didn’t want to look pretty, you didn’t want to be seen as a sex symbol, you wanted to be seen for what you were actually doing – for the music and what it actually was." #PaulineMurray

God bless Johnny Ramone ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

They were a family. A family, yes 🙌, who had their ups and downs, but a family who brought their own unique, amazing 🤩 qualities together!

Moving house in less than a week and packing would be going a lot quicker if I didn't stop to coo over books or music...today I was stopped by this Minor Threat photo book by Glen E Friedman 😍
Front cover of a book called 'Just a Minor Threat'. The cover image is a man in the middle of a crowd holding a microphone
