: Kevin, and or serving kevettes.
: This is the first mess. board I have signed on. Why the fuck did I pick tonight to peck away at this magic box.
: I,m 37 years into my sentence. I play rock music(Field Day), work in a pub in Calgary Alberta Canada called the Castle pub.
: I started skateboarding in 1976, by 1980 I was getting into music that sounded and felt like the feeling you get from skateboarding. Bands like; Devo, the Dickies, Elvis Costello and what became known as Punk Rock, had a direct influence on my indulgence in music and indirectly, on my ideas and considerations of the content and my life. Fun and exploring the limits. Finding a new voice for our common condition.
: Kevin; that crafty, mother-fucker, finds some way to get $$$ to make these films that are a:fuck you as much as a they are sensitive to the crazy shit people are faced with every day.
: Cheers, a new voice in a sea of blah blah blah.
: If there is a point to my first mess. board post, it is a question I am to discuss at the University of calgary on Fri Nov. 15?
:
: What is punk rock? What are the cultural influences? What role does the business of selling music have? Is there origin and history to the label, Punk Rock? Is it valid?
: I'm hoping for some strong ideas on this.
: I'll be looking for you.
: Cheers Knolm Chumpski
: p.s.
: Check out the official Bad Religion web site. Go to "essays", there you will find Greg Gaffin's, "Punk Rock Manifesto". It is the most comprehensive attempt at the topic I have ever read.
: p.s.p.
: Kevin, need some music for your films, egh. Field Day has one song in the LAME feature film, "National Lampoon's Senior Trip", 4 albums, 3 videos
: and I know this is a weak plug but I like what you do "Lunch Pale".
