Olden (as far back as 2011) thoughts in my life. This, an excerpt from the “Anti-Punk Rock History” WIP. I’m gonna be in LA/Pedro for a Desolation Center event at Cornelius Projects June 17. This might appear in a possible...

*After a couple of days these guys paid attention and did the right thing. But still…* Allflac. A foreign company. It was interesting to learn they were offering a digital, “lossless” download of my album “Unhalfbaking” on their website....

I don’t know, but it’s easy to speculate (and sometimes fun). Keith Morris got his book “My Damage” (Da Capo Press) published a month or so back and, yep, it’s on the street, on the Amazon and all the other places you can buy it for your...
