November 1990, bestill my little emo kid heart. I had managed to get into the ANU Bar with my sketchy fake ID to see Violent Femmes. It's not the first opening song I ever heard live, but definitely one of the most memorable early ones!
#Milwaukee | Yesterday, in the build-up to the GOP "debate" I thought about Milwaukee. About the time I visited my Uncle and Aunt in Waukesha in 1967, and Laverne & Shirley and Happy Days and Jeffrey Dahmer—finally The Violent Femmes and Trixie Mattel.
I did NOT know Ms. Trixie recorded "Blister in the Sun!" Well done :-)
I now understand the point of the introduction toot. So allow myself to reintroduce… myself:
I’m Johno. I’m a dad. I live in Berkeley, CA, USA. I have oddly specific preferences, and I’m here to learn about other folks’ oddly specific preferences.
