1. Most annoying singer ever but...

I still love them.

6. For my bucks, Geddy Lee is more annoying than Doc Dart.

I saw the 'fucks at the "Rock Against Reagan" thing at the back of the Lincoln Memorial on July 4, 1983 (Wayne Newton was playing for the Reagans at the other end of the mall). Steve Shelley hadn't defected to Sonic Youth at that point. The Crucifucks were quite amazing, and Dart was ruthless from stage, baiting the omnipresent Park Police. He pulled a nice string of puke out of his throat at the end of his set.

Also on the bill that day were MDC and the Dead Kennedys. The Dead Kennedys played after sunset, when the Washington Monument was all aglow. Biafra was pretty well on fire, and there was quite an amazing moment during the show when half a dozen Park Police helicopters swooped down with their spotlights on the crowd of punks and hippies.

Good times, mm. I'd wake up with blood on my ass and then we'd get high.

3. YES YES YES

you make things miserable every day. you make me sick with the things you say. you stand for the anthem at the old ball game and your pledge of allegiance is so fucking lame. this kind of freedom is perfect for you as long as you can get away with what you do, but everything you do is in such bad taste and it's your fault the media is such a waste. be a good american - fuck off! be a good american and go to war be a god fearing citizen and - kill someone or kill your self - cuz you're such a fucking bore. you nearly drove me crazy in your asshole schools, grooming us all to be fucking fools, working for the government as zombie tools, but we won't be satisfied till we trash your rules. put a gun in my back and i'll do what you say but i'll burn down your house if i get away, throw me in jail and i'll spit in your face, cuz anarchy is gonna take your fucking place...so be a good american - fuck off! be a good american and go to war be a god fearing citizen and kill someone or kill yourself!!

13. My best friend lived in East Lansing in 1983

She went to MSU and was heavily into the punk scene there. I was going to school in Kalamazoo, so when there were cool bands playing in East Lansing, I would drive up on the weekends and party there. She'd head down to K'zoo if things were hopping there.

From what I remember, the Crucifucks were just these guys. Wasted mostly, with a penchant for blotter acid.

15. a penchant for blotter acid

9. Hinckley Had a Vision!

[swag]

10. That's a catchy tune, asth,

post the lyrics to that and somebody will be knocking at your door, I reckon.

Thanks for the morning earworm.

[asthmaticeog]

11. Shit, I'll probably get a knock on my door just for posting the TITLE.

For the record, Mr. FBI monitor-guy, that post was about Hinckley, Ohio. Yeah, that's it.
