Come on, DH! We’re supposed to match. Today is light blue!
Was it brown when you bought it???
Sorry, legion! Ok, ok, I got what you were saying, it just sounded WEIRD!
jackal — Get a CAT hat. Then the weight won’t matter. And keep eating those chicken-frieds.
Legion — totally agree about CBs. Could have been a museum/shrine to the whole NYC 70s Punk/Warhol/Max’s/Velvets/Chelsea Hotel era. Big part of NYC cultural history. Patti Smith, Television, Talking Heads, Blondie, in addition to Ramones. Disagree about Helter Skelter though — it has the thrash and noise but not the speed or pop sensibility of Ramones. Ramones is much more like early 60s rock and roll, just faster, louder and stoopider. Helter Skelter is closer to the likes of early Zeppelin.
i’m wearing brown underwear.
cobble!!
I’m being deliberately effusive in praise of my Queens homies the Ramones.
4 losers from Forest Hills High who just wanted to play fast and have some fun, but ended up changing music.
Helter Skelter is a very punk sounding song even though punk hadn’t been invented, at least in my humble opinion.
you just made your white dress shirt sound way fancier than it really is. bravo
Cool, thanks, Cobble. Still need to make it to Franklin Park, though.
….and no, I haven’t said goodbye to the furbs. Still working for them, just taking a couple of weeks off.
