A jour­ney down Memory Lane here for some of you Madison, Wisconsin people.

Witness the angst…the dis­qui­et­ing frus­tra­tion and inner tur­moil of Old Skull, kid punk band. When they weren’t rock­ing against the military-industrial com­plex, they were skip­ping school and smok­ing cig­a­rettes at Steep & Brew. I have this on good author­ity from pal Aaron.

Listen to this “Homeless” song — blis­ter­ing sociopo­lit­i­cal com­men­tary at its finest hour. Watch the YouTube clip. Experience the mam­moth social con­science that these young­sters pos­sessed. Listen to the fierce, anti–Reagan invec­tive. Hear the lyrics! (Undoubtedly ghost-writtten by Dad, but so what! Fuck it.)

OLD SKULL

I actu­ally never lis­tened to them or knew much about them dur­ing my time in Madison but then, I never was a punk guy any­way.  That is a fact. But I am hop­ing that all is well with Old Skull now that they are grown men.
