Greg Graffin has an interesting approach to performing shows with Bad Religion. Most frontmen, when they get up on stage, expend most of their energy just rocking out while they sing. Graffin definitely rocks the fuck out, but he also gestures conversationally a lot. Like, tapping the side of his head when he's singing lyrics about thinking, or waving his hands queryingly when the lyrics ask a question. He's holding forth up there, giving a lecture while his students jump around and yell the lecture right back at him.
It was a fucking awesome show. Tiny venue--Ram's Head at the Baltimore waterfront. The crowd was maybe 30 bodies deep at the thickest, probably less than 300 people there total--maybe closer to 200. I was crushed right up against the front fence, with Hetson almost kicking me in the face.
What was really awesome was that they didn't play their most famous songs. I think Infected was the most well-known track they played. They did Generator, Fuck Armageddon, Atomic Garden--good songs that you really only hear if you've got the discography. And the crowd knew all the lyrics. FUCK yeah.

We are our own worst enemy. Stupidity is winning and worshiped too.
In the mid 1980s an Irish woman was flying off to Israel to meet her Palestinian boyfriend's parents and he packed her bags and included a bit of plastique. El Al didn't like her answer and looked and the rest is history
