Slog - Comments on So Far as I Could Tell http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/06/spring_84 It's Friday. I do not feel like writing about the viaduct or Mike McGavick or Maria Cantwell or Greg Nickels or net neutrality or even Linnea Noreen. At all. What I feel like Slogging about, or at least sharing, is this Village Voice rock review from 1984. It's a review of a Meat Puppets gig. I'm not sure what the bizarre suggestion to Henry Rollins is about�although, it seems well stated. Anyway, this far-flung bit of alternative paper poésie made my week. Here are the last two paragraphs: The crowd, of course, was there for headliners Black Flag, and gave...

I don't know where he's writing now, but in general he writes too little about rock'n'roll these days...I remember his dissection of "From a Distance" (Bette Midler) in the VV in about 1992 or whenever it was a hit. Awesome...His novel, Gilligan's Wake, is pretty awesome too.

They always put on an amazing show!

I totally miss the atmosphere of shows back in the day. And the suggestions to Rollins is right on, heh.

black flag put on an epic show (long hair, barefoot and torn gym shorts rollins era) that still remains in my personal top ten rock show experiences.

i wish i could have saw them in their LA heyday with dez/keith but i was still in high school and was lucky to be able to get into seattle for the occasional punk show!
