The Last True Punk Band To Get

The Last True Punk Band To Get A Major Label Contract Was The Dickies.

To This Day, We Get Letters At Alternative Tentacles From Young Teenagers Who Hide Their Dead Kennedys Albums Behind Their Mirror Or In The Mattress Of Their Bed. Wouldn't It Be Better If The Parents Just Discussed This With The Kids Instead Of Creating This Culture Of Sneaking And Dishonesty Within The Family? The Moral Of The Story Being, You Don't Hide Reality From Your Kids Because Then They Grow Up To Be Smarter, More Aware Adults.

Well, I Don't Think I'll Ever Stop Being Frustrated Or Feel Fulfilled Artistically.

So Basically The Understanding On These So-called Reissues Is That They Were Done Behind My Back, Without My Permission, And The Band Informed Me That I Would No Longer Be Paid On Them At All.

There's Sort Of An Open Offer To Work With A Guy In Los Angeles Who Does Big Band And Orchestra Arrangements Who Was At Least An Acquaintance To Les Baxter Before He Passed Away.
