@xgabegottliebx Can we get @NRaygunOfficial on that bill, please?

It's still insane to me that Fugazi has not reunited to save the world. It would be that easy. One massive tour and everything is fixed.

My great friend @RobertFitz74’s NEW book is out and it is a huge hit! If you’re a fan of the history of music and the affect it has had on politics and the world, this will be a fun read! #HardcorePunkInTheAgeOfReagan @CoeCollege

"I heartily recommend reading it with a device that streams music within reach. That way, if there’s a song you don’t know or aren’t sure you remember, chances are you can find it in the internet ether and turn it up. LOUD, of course." Exactly what I hoped readers would do!

A surreal moment when these showed up in the mail last week. Thanks to @UNC_Press @Lucas_Church @BedenbaughT for all their work to see this through to fruition. And always thanks to @HartmanAndrew for the support. #punk

Just came across the work of ClearXCut while doing some research on straight edge. Their first two releases - The Vegan Straight Edge and For the Wild at Heart Kept in Cages - are two of the most passionate, powerful records I've ever listened to. #ClearXCut #straightedge

Crazy. Without knowing this, I've been writing a lot lately about straight edge as I ponder what could be my next book, possibly a lyrical history of the movement. Maybe it was meant to be. Minor Threat was the first tape my brother lent me, a powerful moment for an 13 year old.
