Ah Jersey. The freshness of the air.
It is high fucking time I talked shop: Politics.
Last night I saw Sage Francis perform with Grand Buffet and Mac Lethal. Im normally an old guard punk, but my tastes broaden every day. From the start I came to punk through pissed off political bands like Bad Religion, Pennywise and Propagandhi. Since then a great quantity of punk has traveled a wayward path, vacuously humming the passing of everyday events: girlfriends, parents, drugs, drunkenness, etc.
But oh do I miss the politics.
For this reason, this hip-hop show rubbed me in exactly the right way. It is great to hear a band that isnt caught up in its own pseudo-rockstardom. It is high time that we popularize content-rich music. What more could you want than a man jacking off a George W. Bush doll he has sticking out of his fly while performing Makeshift Patriot?
Maybe this is a country I can live in. At least it gives me hope

portland is super cool. it's got a great mellow vibe, it really pretty (it's green everywhere & it helped that the weather was sunny & mild this past weekend). they also have BEER and tasty FISH. so ya know. ya can't go wrong.
and i'm always up for shooting the shit over hegel & marx. you just name the time & the place
glad you had a good time - i always love those little moments that give you hope about the world around you. i'm hardly a big protest fiend - but the few events i've been too, i've also had that rush. that feeling that the world is an ok place, and there are other sane people out there.
