[8]Are you in involved in your local scene? How?:
I played guitar for a punk band in my hometown (a very, very small place).
I'm having a hard time getting something together here. Insted I'm somewhat of an uncompensated promotor for friends bands. I keep an open ear for people wanting to play or host shows. Pretty much everything I do on my offtime is related to music.
[9]When did you Start Getting into 77?
My friend Rene gave me a tape when I was 13 that contained GG and Rik L Rik, and I had never heard anything like it. Before then, the only thing I listened to was Nirvana. *g* Gimme a break. My family listened to nothing but Mariachis. Anyway. That sparked my interest and it went from there.

The Undertones - (She's) a Runaround. I have no direction at the moment.

....Your Own Opinions:....
-Who was the Best and Worst band in 77 or Related Era:
I don't know that I understand your definition of 77. When I think 77, I think protopunk. Or maybe just the really old stuff that doesn't suck and influenced the next wave of good punk.
That being said, my favorite band of the 70s is The NYDolls (you may have figured out
by now that I'm rather obsessed with them). They were the twist "rock" needed. It took it to a rougher, rawer direction. They had a slightly-intimidating, fuck-you persona (for their time). As for the worst, I don't really know. If I didn't like it I generally didn't investigate it.
-One Person You Admire The MOST in era:
Johnny Thunders. He was a damned talented musician who wrote amazing music. I also related to his lyrics, as did most loners. Still though, they made us feel a bit less lame about ourselves.
-What did you Dislike and Liked about the Era:
I dislike that I wasn't alive to experience it. I feel like I'm repeating myself regarding what I like about it.
-What Do you Think about these People, How much Are they a influence to 77, How Important They are in YOUR life, and Last Name some bands that Are Influenced by these Guys and Gals:
+ Sue Catwoman: I don't really give a shit. She didn't influence much beyond fashion, but she did make me feel better about having small boobs.
+ Johnny Thunders: Johnny Thunders made me feel it was alright to be a bit emotional, but there was no point in feeling hopeless. He kinda made me realize that I had to get over my shit and just go out and live it up. Might sound stupid, but it's true.
+ Sid Vicious: Hmm. I like him, but I think he just encouraged people to be loud beligerant fuck-ups. He was more of a cool-looking icon/junkie than anything else. I do love the Pistols, though.
+ The Clash: Over-rated. I'm not a fan.
+ Poly Styrene: I find her annoying, but I like some of her lyrics.
This is taking way to long to fill out. I'm officially drunk when I started this sober so forgive any typos or nonsensical rants.
[x]Fashion:
I'm a victim. All my shit's tattered, but mostly because it's old. I'm not wealthy. But as for my opinion, I really am all for it. It's fun. I like having fun.
[x]Abortion:
Please! I am 100% for it.
If it's a financial hardship/health-related/due to a rape induced pregnancy especially.
[x]Skins,Punx,sXe and Overnight Punks:
*I have several skin friends and I like a lot of oi. I don't understand the scene very well, but that's alright.
*The X in PUNX pisses the fuck out of me. I don't know why. As far as Punks, they're usually like any other group of people. Some are awesome, some are bastards. Punk chicks usually hate me though.
*What is sXe?
*Overnight punks irk me a tad, but I don't care too much. I just wish I had a tape to give them or something.
[15]Why do You think your right for this Community?
Actually, I just joined in hopes of hearing about good, local shows. Then I realized it was a rating
community and I would be booted if I didn't fill this out.
