sXe...funny. I hung around with a fairly larger crew of Chicago sXers back in 89-90. That's when GB, Judge, Project X and all the NYC bands were on the prowl and making noise. I miss Underdog something fierce. Same with the Cro Mags a la "Age of Quarrel." Met John Joseph in Wash Sq Park in NYC. Nice guy for sure. I guess everyone has perceptions to go off of.
I try not to be in places where dip*****s may rear their ugly, SE, suburban heads anymore. I need not that crap. Half the kids back in 89 or so were pretty well to do, just wanting to be hardcore like NYC.
Everyone's gotta do their thing, but forget that others have the same attitude in mind for themselves. Their was this kid, Hard Carl (snicker), from OH or MI, possibly Detroit. Everyone thought he was the baddest of the badasses. Didn't pay my bills, so I didn't really care. I met a lot of cool kids too though. Like Frankie from Cleveland Hts, and Dwid. Some good NY/NJ kids too. But Chicago is home...and these people count most. The ones I meet everyday, either in memories or on the bike.
