So I'm sitting in The Library earlier with Mr. Steve and my wife and Little Miss Do. We were having a time and it was all cool until some motherfucking bigmouth started in about Greg Ginn and Mr. Steve had to go kick his ass. It was comical. I very much enjoyed watching the ass-kicking for once instead of throwing in.
It's cool for people to have opinions. I actually prefer people who do. Even the ones who don't agree with me. Shit, I actually appreciate the opinionated fucks who don't agree with me because hardly anyone does and it forces me to crystallize my point of view. Which is always right, but people don't have to agree with me if they don't want to. I don't give a shit.
But when bigmouth jackass motherfuckers talk so much shit so loud that I can't sit down with my tribe and enjoy the only calm moment I've had all fucking day without their asinine opinions invading my space, it's ass-kicking time.
This stupid motherfucker was in there with his chick and he was trying to impress her with his vast knowledge of the Long Beach punk scene. He got on the subject of Greg Ginn's recent decision to kick the catalog loose. It'll be iPod punk heaven. I can't fucking wait. What's the problem? I don't know. This jackass was talking all kinds of shit on Ginn, calling him a bongsucker and shit. We rolled our eyes and let it slide. Then we could still hear him getting louder all about what a fucking loser Ginn is and how without Morris and Rollins there would be no Flag and more crazy fucking shit like that. We changed tables, which is not an easy thing to do at The Library. But the stupid idiot wasn't done talking shit yet.
We overheard him saying that Greg Ginn was "the biggest poseur in punk" and that "he couldn't play for shit if his pot depended on it" and that he was just a washed up loser. That's when Mr. Steve got up and went over there to talk to the idiot. He told the stupid motherfucker that he was a stupid motherfucker and then he asked his chick if she'd like to go out sometime. The asshole went crazy and chested Mr. Steve. They started getting into it, but The Library is not Fern's. A huge butch bitch pulled 'em apart and kicked it outside. The bigmouth and his chick took off running, but then they screamed at us from across the street accusing Mr. Steve of sucking Ginn's dick for busfare. Nice.
Ginn will never have the devoted fan base of Rollins or Morris, but it's just fucking wrong to say the man is a poseur. Who started SST? Who had the brains to actually fucking tour? Who is the only standing member of Black Flag from start to finish? Who fucking wrote the shit? Come on. Give the man his respect. If you don't like him, fine. If you've even met him, which for goddam sure that stupid motherfucker hasn't. What a fucking shit talker.
Greg Ginn is responsible for a fucking shitload of very excellent music not only getting heard, but getting recorded, and preserved. Fuck that motherfucker for calling him a sellout. He'll probably be the first jackoff to download the shit for free off Limewire. I'd like to see that pigfucker produce anything one millionth of par.
I don't understand why anyone would have a problem with the SST catalog popping iTunes. Who gives two black shits? What's the fucking downside? I can't stand these stupid elitist motherfuckers who snob off iTunes. I'm not saying everybody has to jump on the wagon, but how can you knock someone who does? Why shouldn't someone get paid top dollar for their shit? How does that make them a sellout? You're telling me Mike Watt doesn't deserve bank? He's one of the hardest working motherfuckers on the planet. You're telling me all those rockers should just suck it the fuck up and bite the pillow for the purity of their music instead of getting paid what they should have got in the first fucking place? Fuck that.
I think everyone should get as much as they deserve. Take it all the first time so you don't have to come back for more. I think every one hit wonder should sell it the fuck out. You wonder why your favorite song ends up selling hamburgers? Well, it's because you're addicted to Limewire, you useless fuck.
I hope Ginn and everyone else gets bank from the deal. Anyway, it's probably all that Carey chick's fault because she was talking to him about the fucking building and put all kinds of money making ideas in his head. I'll bet that was it.
