Jaxtoberfest relocating from downtown to SJTC

Rollins is my favorite, personally.
Get in the Van is awesome, and his book "Roomanitarian" is really cool as well.

Rollins has always really irked me. So has Ian MacKaye (that's not to say I never listened to Fugazi or anything). I never quite got into hardcore, apart from a bit of Die Kreuzen and maybe early Husker Du or Bad Brains.

You sure do make a lot of circle jerk references. Do you ever think maybe it's not everyone else who's fixated on circle jerks, maybe it's just you?

Oh, dude, I LOVE the Circle Jerks (Have you HEARD "Wild in the Streets"? God DAMN it smokes!), but I am not sure what that has to do with anything...

I always thought they were overrated - but I was never a huge fan of LA hardcore anyway. Like I never understood Black Flag's appeal.

They had some good tunes, but their influence definitely outpaced their talent. I wished more of those musicians had listened to the Minutemen rather than Black Flag and the dozens of other indistinguishable bands.

Wait, what were we talking about?

Minutemen have their place in history, but give me Black Flag/Minor Threat/ Circle Jerks over them any day of the week.

Give me Bad Religion, or give me death.

Henry Rollins= Guy I wouldn't mind going to Las Vegas with, but would never want in my band.

Ron Reyes= More punk than Dez or Keith Morris.

Dez Cadena= A hero for everyone that has formed a fan club for a band, ever (The guy that runs the Metallica fan club dreams that one day he'll pull a Dez Cadena and get invited to sing for a Metallica Reunion Tour).


None of the aforementioned people have ever been on the cover of Thrasher Magazine (nor have played professional hockey). Everyone is entitled to their opinion... mine just happens to be the correct one because let's face it, skaters rule. Long live Mike Vallely. Carry on

As to the real thread, let me say, I am honestly not trolling.  I just am super disappointed everyone is going around in circles about how awful SJTC is and how awful this festival is for going there, and it feels like unnecessary hand-wringing and concern-trolling.

Part of it is how the festival broke the news. If they'd said they couldn't get a space downtown from the start, they'd have avoided the bad buzz. Apparently they've known they couldn't use the Shipyards for months.

Sounds like they have Mickey Mouse at the head of their PR. What a disaster!
