I feel very lucky that I got to see Black Flag (2.14.86 in Tulsa) before they disbanded, but I would have killed to see them with the Puppets in 1983!
If you saw the Minutemen, too, you’re my hero.

I’m still kicking myself for not using a line from the Smiths’ “Cemetry Gates” to open the plagiarism chapter.
