Of course AL and I own XCLAIM, but this is a great story set to some awesome animation (even if they gave AL a SeaDoo instead of a Kawasaki 550)! ❤️

I’m not real big on “lists,” but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t thrilled that AL’s band SS Decontrol came in number 69 on Rolling Stones 100 Punk Albums of All Time (even with the mythology included)! ❤️

I saw the Messthetics last week at City Winery. I know Brendan & Joe from when they were in Fugazi & stayed at our house when they played Boston. The Messthetics music has been called “jazz punk jam." It was unlike any live music experience I’ve ever had & thoroughly enjoyable. These guys can play.

Incredibly fun day Boston Public Radio’s show, featuring Ken Casey-Dropkick Murphys; Michael Patrick MacDonald, author All Souls, Easter Rising; & Michael Fanone, Metropolitan police officer injured in the J6 attacks & activist. Keep fighting the good fight.

HUGE fun tonight at Cock Sparrer, Haywire, Lower Class Brats, and Yellow Stitches with Jacqui Keyes! Every single band ripped. I’m dying today, but, damn, that was a great time with some awesome people! Thank you, Ron, and thank you Joe Nelson ❤️

Happy Birthday to one of the best to do it, a guy who did groundbreaking work in some incredible bands; who started a record company in the ‘80s that exists to this day, one that never had contracts, yet never had a complaint; a man who epitomized the DIY movement; a true blue friend, Ian MacKaye!

No better way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day than to be at the Dropkick Murphys with this crew in Boston last night! IYKYK. What a fun time.

Today is the 43rd anniversary of the day the KKK came to Boston during my first visit to the city. AL & I & thousands of others protested their arrival. Now, 43 years later, I can’t believe we’re still fighting this crap. F*ck the KKK. F*ck Nazis. F*ck Trump. F*ck JD Vance. F*ck racist Republicans.

Happy Birthday to Michael Anthony Alago! Michael booked the Ritz back when it was the hottest club in NYC. He went on to sign Metallica, PIL, White Zombie, and Nina Simone to major labels. His book was incredible, and I highly recommend it! Hope it’s a great day, Michael!!
