      Many , MANY years ago (Almost 30.), a friend said "U2 used to be an underground band , they had that RAW guitar sound like PIL". It's true , my Brother saw them on their first US tour at a small club that probably was'nt even full. They were still "Word of mouth" and UK mags like Trouser Press writing them up.... But , I remember Bone - O calling Flock of Seagulls "Flocks and Flocks of Stealers" for lifting their guitar sound from "A Day Without Me " from "Boy" , which is probably true. They commercialized part of U2's sound , then , U2 did , so , in effect . Flock of Fleagulls , having had hits in America , first ,  sort of paved the way for U2's US conquest......Still , The Edge , as far as I can tell , got a lot of his Guitar sound by taking the "Edge " off Keith Levine's sound on the first two PIL albums.
       Either way , we can stay young of mind , U2 will NOT go away , regardless of age or irrelevance.

      "Bone Load" is pretty funny. I trust , all of you have heard the joke about BONE-LOAD performing in Scotland?  Maybe?

      Andy , You SAID it , and you said it so well. AS scary as the thought of Bone-O and Stink having Tantric sex  (With "The Modern Parents" probably there to advise them.) is.... Bone - O , in his egotistical self - absorption , makes like he's John Lennon Incarnate .

      In a way , this is true. My Brother was in line with him , once, at a VERY posh restaurant in The Bahamas. They turned Bone-O away , because he was'nt properly attired. When my Brother told them who they'd just turned away , they just LAUGHED , and showed him a picture on the wall , saying "We turned them away , too , because they were'nt dressed." It was a picture of The Fucking Beatles. 

      P.S. I think I only saw part of "The Man With Two Brains". Even though he's always worked , Martin's brand of humor wore itself thin in America....To the extent that ,
       even as far back as 1979 , when my Uncle took us to go see him , I half did'nt want to go. And , he was GREAT.

      Tersicore,

       Just playing. Boneva is one of countless prescription meds they pedal directly to consumers on TV here in the states. It's supposed to help with bone density if the side effects don't kill you first. And I'm in that age group too (47).

      And I agree, you can do your thing and still take care of biz with your family. In fact I would say that a good majority of my nasty, degenerate punk friends turned out to be pretty good parents in the end. Most of their kids are pretty well adjusted and have their acts together, mine included if I say so myself.

      Never. It is hard to explain for those that don't get it but if it is who you are and you are proud of it, why change that? You can hand in your shirts but from your post it seems that your love of the music would remain.

      Made in the early 80's mate. Handmade Films. Totally funded and supported by George Harrison. Fkn amazing film and a real huge cult statusacross here. Y'know kids upbringings here if ya hear them quoting it directly. Richard Griffiths who played Uncle Monty in it died a couple of days ago. a really big loss to British acting. Check this movie out if ya's haven't seen it already.

         I've never seen this , it looks great . When was it made ?  That one character's 'Do looked kinda 80's for the late 60's....Just sayin'.  A friend of mine played Buddy Holly in a BBC movie , and had to explain to the writers that Buddy Holly would NOT have been ordeing egg , bean , bacon and chips at a Lubbock , Texas diner in 1955 , so , there ARE bigger anachronisms about... It was also the end of an era , here in the states , when Woolworth's closed. They still have 'em in Mexico. About 10 years ago , there were Ramones T-shirts everywhere , it was just the thing to do , a lot of people wearing 'em did'nt know who The Ramones were. The other band T's you mentioned , I don't know about , but , it could happen , here....

      Am I wrong here? There's a famous line in the fabulous movie 'Withnail & I' which goes 'Its the end of an era man! They're selling Beatles Wigs in Woolworths!' I was in town with my daughter on Sunday. We went into Asda (Wal Mart) and they were selling Ramones t shirts, Sex Pistols T shirts, Smiths T shirts and fucking Pixies sweat shirts Wot the Fuckin Fuck???!!! All the high street stores over here are selling'em. Have our threads and sensibility really became the latest summer must have? Wot really got my goat tho was a t shirt with the classic Che Guivara silhouette, with paint splashes over it and 'I predict a Riot!' printed around it. Don't wanna sound like the cranky old fuck that lives next door, but i'm afraid the kids are being sold a culture that's unreal makes a mockery of the spirit of all that's decent and political! FFS!!!

         I've never seen this , it looks great . When was it made ?  That one character's 'Do looked kinda 80's for the late 60's....Just sayin'.  A friend of mine played Buddy Holly in a BBC movie , and had to explain to the writers that Buddy Holly would NOT have been ordeing egg , bean , bacon and chips at a Lubbock , Texas diner in 1955 , so , there ARE bigger anachronisms about... It was also the end of an era , here in the states , when Woolworth's closed. They still have 'em in Mexico. About 10 years ago , there were Ramones T-shirts everywhere , it was just the thing to do , a lot of people wearing 'em did'nt know who The Ramones were. The other band T's you mentioned , I don't know about , but , it could happen , here....

      Am I wrong here? There's a famous line in the fabulous movie 'Withnail & I' which goes 'Its the end of an era man! They're selling Beatles Wigs in Woolworths!' I was in town with my daughter on Sunday. We went into Asda (Wal Mart) and they were selling Ramones t shirts, Sex Pistols T shirts, Smiths T shirts and fucking Pixies sweat shirts Wot the Fuckin Fuck???!!! All the high street stores over here are selling'em. Have our threads and sensibility really became the latest summer must have? Wot really got my goat tho was a t shirt with the classic Che Guivara silhouette, with paint splashes over it and 'I predict a Riot!' printed around it. Don't wanna sound like the cranky old fuck that lives next door, but i'm afraid the kids are being sold a culture that's unreal makes a mockery of the spirit of all that's decent and political! FFS!!!

      Yeah , but , it will have evaporated ,by then.
      The shirt , I mean . Hopefully not my body. The band was selling the shirts for only $5 , anyway . I got a couple for my friends , too.

      Yeah, bummertown. I think people that where Che G shirts are usually pretty clueless about him and history anyways so nothing's really new about that. Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood were clothing designers, this lifestyle is always going to be a fashion to sell.

      Tersicore,

       Just playing. Boneva is one of countless prescription meds they pedal directly to consumers on TV here in the states. It's supposed to help with bone density if the side effects don't kill you first. And I'm in that age group too (47).

      And I agree, you can do your thing and still take care of biz with your family. In fact I would say that a good majority of my nasty, degenerate punk friends turned out to be pretty good parents in the end. Most of their kids are pretty well adjusted and have their acts together, mine included if I say so myself.

      "Break your hip on the dance floor !"????
      Sure, i will, sooner or later! ;D

      John Battles said:

      Boneva? I think it's a rich chocolate ice cream bar , or maybe a limited edition Flintstones car , manufactured in Italy. I'm sure Mike was having a laugh , about medical precautions. I think it's great if people can dance (Not"Mosh") as well as they could 20 years ago , or whenever... I sure as Hell can't. I used to be known as the wildest dancer in town , in my 20's. I seldom dance , anymore. It's embarrassing how BAD I am.

      But , they do a , usually yearly , reunion for the two original Punk Clubs in Chicago , O'Banion's and La Mere Vipere.....A lot of the people there are older than I am , in their 50's and even 60's , some of them. Some of them look great , some of them look like Hell.
       Some of the people my age and under look like Hell , too , so , THAT'S not an age thing.

      But , James Porter will confirm that some of the older Chicago Punks or ex-Punks or whatever , still get out and have a good time , and look pretty good doing so , besides.

      One of these reunion nights had a flyer that said "Break your hip on the dance floor !".


      Tersicore said:

      Hey Mike! He´s not even 50!! It sounds like you were talking to a 60 or 70 year´s old guy!
      I´m not much younger than Andy but i can tell you: when i dance (jumping and stamping around,  even for hours) you would rarely find a 20year old girl able to compete! ;)
      what´s a Boneva, by the way? no idea!


      Mike said:

      Andy,

        Just make sure you consult your doctor prior to vigorous excercise. Most of these clubs we lurk around don't have defibulators on site. And pop a few Boneva's once in a while so we don't break our hips and we can extend our adolescence a few more decades hopefully.

      Ahhhh. Ok. Well. According to some of the people I mentioned in my familial/professional realm, their cutoff age is a whole lot earlier.

      I don't even know what exact ages everyone is talking about here anyways.
