Ah yes, the pre metal DRI. I remember seeing them play a whole set in about 15 minutes... having full grown men pull their cars over and want to fight us. Getting harrased at school for having a flattop, fighting with the metal heads and the disco boys. I remember looking for something else to do when all the So Cal punk shows turned into massive pits of bald guys looking for fights. I started hanging at the mod clubs where older girls would take turns buying me beers and kissing me. Who needed violence when I could have titties and beer instead?
I remember seeing the Circle Jerks play a private girls' school dance, and seeing Keith Morris punch a cop when they broke it up. I saw Phranc, the Jewish lesbian folk singer lead a hardcore audience in the Hokey Pokey.. heh-heh, yea I wouldn't trade those days for anything either......
