I got to see the DKs once, probably on one of their last tours (’85 or ’86) at the Varsity Theatre in Palo Alto, CA. In terms of musicianship, they were miles ahead of any of the other punk bands of the time.

Wow. I was really into these three bands back in 7th grade (85′) and they are still on my ipod to this day. Looking back all these years later – its all too obvious that we were much cooler than those dorky Jefferson Starship fans.
There are so many horrible decisions, it’s hard to argue.
Or these judges unbelievably suck. I remember watching Chambers vs Peters. Chambers clearly won, but he didn’t win 9 of 10 rounds, and he sure as fuck didn’t draw. Oh fuck, at least they got the right result there.

There is (or was) a band in the San Francisco area called The Dead Kenny Gs. From their mouths to God’s ear… just sayin’.
Boxing died for me when they gave it to Leonard over Hagler. It was all about the show because the show is what makes money. I stopped thinking it was any better than pro wrestling.

I would donate a kidney to see video of Mr. Cole doing air guitar/vocals in his living room to Dead Kennedys. How anyone with such great taste in music was ever a Republican is beyond belief, although I used to suspect that people in the pit who were actually trying to hurt people were probably Rs.

The Dead Milkmens’ Middle-Atlantic (as opposed to Mid-Atlantic) accents weren’t quite as pronounced as I remembered.
Prolly like mine, before I spent 30 years in Nashville.
All of these numbers would be improved if the singers were cut and only the music remained. Or maybe a bouncing ball with the lyrics in sub-title. (I know, showing my age here.)
Styling doesn’t excuse horrid singing.

Bristol Palin is totally waiting until marriage this time, for reals!
Okay, we’ve just received word that Bristol is now expecting.

My question is why can’t Bristol just use the pill like 99% of women her age and leave us out of it.

Does anyone read NRO? Have they said anything about the racist they hired?

Don’t forget your Mötley Crüe t-shirt. You know, all proceeds go to get their lead singer out of jail.

The problem with writing a character sketch that turns into a novel is if the characters get fully explored before all the plot holes get filled in.

Along with many 12 inch singles. (That phrase used to be a personal ad….)

My wife and I can’t pass a Camaro without breaking out in ‘bitchin’ camaro…’ Thankfully there are quite few here in the OC.
