Dang dude....

A few weeks ago, you could have asked Spot himself. He just came through doing his solo banjo/guitar thing at the local pub I play at all the time here in Racine. Like NO one showed up....so sad when you stop to think who the dude is.....buy that guy a drink and he will sit and talk your head off! Helluva nice man!


Beyond that...much prefer the Rollins years, myself.



My name is Henry....and you're here with ME now!

Black Flag is my all time favorite punk band. vocally and as a front man I prefer Rollins but I love all the era's of Black Flag.

Does Spots still record music?

ok...maybe the funniest line on the album is..
"We're gonna get revenge
You won't know what hits you
We're tired of being SCREWED!"

that always kills me

good keith quote...

"I'm totally out of my mind one more time. I eventually pass out under a car.
Somebody reaches under the car, drags me up, slaps me a couple of times, says
?Here's a beer, get up and sing."

took it from this page....

Honestly, I was going to ask him a bunch of stuff, but as soon as I got to talking to him, I forgot. The dude is funny....he's got a lot of funny little stories that made me forget he was "that" dude and I just kinda saw him him as who he is instead of who he was.

He's totally ego-less.....you'd never know he was responsible for such important records. His show was quite eclectic.....just him. He did a lot of instrumentals and kind of half singing/half talking over a banjo, an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar through a little Fender Champ or something.

He was talking at one point about living in Texas and not minding if he left it all together because he had just lost both of his jobs. Man....the world ain't right.

Well.......now that's a whole different story. I invest a lot of time and wine pretending it doesn't exist.....don't you fuck that up for me.
