Anybody out there a fan of the American independent record company from the 80's, SST Records, and all the great bands they released? God...Black Flag, Husker Du, The Minutemen, Sacchrine Trust, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, The Meat Puppets.... SST Records saved my life. In the 80's I most surely would've blown my head off if not for this record label.....:tongue:

Henry Rollins....the intense lookin' guy you sometimes see on VH1...well....he used to sing with a little band called Black Flag!!!!!....anybody...SST Records.....Bad Brains, Buffalo Tom, OverKill, fIREHOSE....etc...

they were pretty much jerks.


SO many famous artist folks that I've known/know ... are huge, jack~arse jerks in presentation!

Shocking sometimes to really know the arse behind the works of sheer beauty ... shocked

Many I've known seemed to get bitter as they were ostracized in their early years for 'being SO different ... the 'it' factor in hatching mode. The years before discovery and acknowledgement of their amazing potential seems to often unwittingly erode a personality!

By the time they hit fame? Often socially unpalatable ... surprised

... :angel: ... No, I won't know names ...some discretion for friendship's sake; I managed to squeeze under their barbed~wire front! Often a beautiful soul there lurking behind the caustic veneer! I do specialize in locating a soul's authentic essence though, not mere symptoms of angst and torture ... and new found fame and wealth ...

The daughter of the owner of Van Gogh's favored pub in France? Said he was a rude, mean bastard that stank to high heaven, a BEAST!

Keith Morrison was my favorite Black Flag vocalist, although most would say Henry Rollins..I like Keith with the Circle Jerks too.
