    I saw this film last night in LA. It’s the best punk rock doc since “Another State of Mind.” Made me kind of homesick. Excellent.

    Shouldn’t have sold that WNUR comp.

    DV8 “Guns on the Right.” Great song!

    I think the next song afterwards is by The Mentally Ill, but the stuff I’ve seen said they were from NYC. Were they actually from Chicago?

    !Viva McGregors! You know, it was a decade+ later, post golden era punk rock and roll, but back in the early 1990s, us Chicago/Suburban Chicago kids really embraced the great music of the time and of the past. We had our own scene, as feeble as it may seem in retrospect. I am proud of that time in my life.

    Hey, I’m in one of the stills with everyone dancing. I see Joe Brill in there and Dave Hill and the girl from Gabba Gabba Gazette. Three pics later, that’s Punky biting a Jam album.

    So I guess I was there.
