Punk rock pilots

[hoop]

Some high(low?)lights: I got booted for drinking one of John Doe's beers at an X show (I've seen them innumerable times), got arrested for fighting at a Replacements gig (expensive mistake) and been showered in spit, front row, watching Stiff Little Fingers. All before I turned 18.

I haven't heard any "punk" I like in awhile.

Currently in rotation on the CD player:
Fugazi
Jawbreaker
Jawbox
Husker Du
Built to Spill
Sunny Day Real Estate
Pinback

I'm ready to hang with HMR, I was "special" also.............

Wow, there is hope. After be totally convinced that every pilot I've ever met is a total dork, including me, then this thread comes along. Way too many RONs with guys saying, "Hey do mind if we listen to my Michael Bolton/Kenny G CD/station" in the rented Malibu. I used to want to shove icepicks in my ears, now I just say NO. In the changer in the trunk;

Ramones
999
GBH
AIR(not punk by a longshot)
Radiohead
Coldplay

I stopped going to punk rock shows after I got my mouth smashed by a random elbow in a local pit. A week later (my mouth healing just fine) I was hit by a speeding reversing car fleeing a beatdown in the parking lot.

Heavy Metal and Reggae shows never had quite the violence that the punk shows seemed to produce. I was not a punk, it just wasnt me, but I always loved the music from when I was in elementary school in the 70's... I just liked my hair long!

HAHAHA fast forward to the late 90's... Im in flight school I spot a fellow student with a DRI tat on his leg. I mentioned something like "cool DRI" and his eyes just lit up. Apparently I was the first fellow aviator that didnt ask him "what is that a dancing person"?

It's always kind of funny how many people ask me what the hell the Black Flag sticker on my flightbag is. Funnier when I tell them what it is. Conversation usually ends when I resign myself just to say I put myself through flight school as an exterminator. Whatever...

The DRI logo was one of the most popular back then uh? i had a DRI tshirt back in high school and the DRI logo as a licence plate, a friend of mine painted it for me...MInor Theat, wow cool band, did u heard about the NIKE poster ripping off the Minor Threat cover? In the end NIKE made a statement saying they were sorry.

i was gonna put a THRASHER magazine sticker on the flight bag, but didnt cause i knew i would have to answer the "what does that mean?" question way too many times

There was nothing like Bono and U2 when they were young and live.

The Clash, The Cure, The Furs, and what about Joy Division and Ian Curtis, and "Love will Tear Us Apart".

Not to forget Bauhaus with Peter Murphy, the father of Goth, saw them at the Palladium in Los Angeles a few years ago when they reunited.

I also saw "X" there about the same time when they reunited including Billy Zoom.

I've got a "X" story that tops HMR's, Before X reunited, I got to tag along with a friend when he went to see Billy Zoom in his house in Orange. He showed us all his personal momentos, got to see his silver leather jacket and silver Gretch and chat with him on his sofa. We were there for about 2 hours. He's really a great guy, pretty normal guy too.

Back in 1980 or '81 I saw DOA, The Dicks, and The Stains all at one show at a scummy club in Houston. Now THAT is some punk rock.

About a year ago I was putting my flight bag up on the x-ray belt and the guy behind noticed the black flag and circle jerks sticker, he then got my attention and said "I did not expect to see that on a pilots bag", he then showed me his IPOD and he was listening to who's got the 10 1/2.

Agent Orange
JFA
DK's


Good times......................

The Mother of Punk! Nina Hagen for those of you who don't know. I got to check her out in NYC at the old Ritz in the late 80's.
