001 Losers Club - D.O.A.

Punk Rock Posing - Stay In Step artworkPunk used to be about individuality - what the fuck happened?
It just gets sadder and sadder every year.
How many times can you see the same handful of bands play the same event, playing the same songs from 20+ years ago? 
Does standing on concrete out in the open under the bright ass sun make the music sound better? Or is it all those $11 beers you buy that make things bearable?
How much money is OK to spend in your justification of a good time? $300? $500?
How much BS tourist like behaviour will you tolerate in order to see that one band that you like at the crowded club Downtown?
What's the draw at this point? Seriously? Nostalgia? The undeniable urge to conform to a non-conformist ideology in a sheep like manner in order to justify your ultra hip cool Punk existence? 
How much more of your money are you going to give the Stern Bros.? How much is enough? 
And now the Fat Mike BS. And you all act like you're fucking shocked, which is laughable. Really.
I think the funniest part about the whole Fat Mike / Punk Rock Boring hubbub is finding out how many of my friends were members of the Facebook PRB page in the first place... 😆😆😆 Tasteless? Yeah. Poor timing? Certainly. But the mass hysteria over it is laughable. A coked up millionaire cross dressing alcoholic drug addict says something stupid and everyone loses their shit? WTF? Wasn't like this was the first time he's done something stupid, right? I thought it was common knowledge at this point what a dickhead he is - I know I got some stories, and the fact that NOFX can still draw people to their mediocre, boring, more-talking-shit-than-playing-music show is pathetic and perfectly highlights what's wrong with the Punk scene today. Look, there's nobody I'd like to see get shit more than that asshat Fat Mike, but let's tear him apart for all the stupid shit he's said and done before all this (Cokie The Clown anyone?) and not this... lol I guess the lesson here is that Freedom of Speech doesn't excuse you from your responsibility to your words and actions. Having the right to be a irresponsible dick doesn't mean you should be... wait, did I say that?? LOL

there was a lot of phony out rage around this one... when it comes down to it, this should be a lesson that punk rock should not enter into partnerships with organizations that will dictate or punish you for the things you say... as for what NOFX said, it was stupid and I am sure it would have been better dealt with by a groan and a roll of the eyes... your description of a NOFX gig is almost exactly like the time I saw them play, 6 songs and a lot of incoherent babble that no one besides me found funny... back to subject of saying stupid shit, I have said my fair share and I could only imagine that if I was famous how quickly my career would be brought down by something I drunkenly blurted out...

The entire scene is filled with this PC phoniness right now. Blah. I meant to do a follow up posting on NOFX losing their corporate sponsors over all this BS, but I really don't care and couldn't muster up the energy to write it up. When NOFX reigned supreme over the WARPed tour, I knew it was over for them then. They've been phoning it in for years now, going through the motions just to collect a paycheck. It's sad but whatever. I choose not to be a part of THAT Punk scene, the whole stand outside like cattle and watch a band from hundreds of yards away while paying for overpriced drinks Punk scene, but the hypocritical backlash against NOFX is staggering.

And what do you mean by that "if I was famous" line? Everybody knows you! You're that guy that draws dick pictures for the hipsters! hahahaha
