Had a nice walk down memory lane with mvario today about our nyc punk rock days. We realized that we had been at many of the same shows. Did you see PIL at The Palladium? Yes. Siouxsie at Radio City? Yes! Dead or Alive at The Saint? Holy shit, yes I did! Small world, right?

NYC was more like cinematic NYC than it is now. It was gritty, weird, wild and a bit dangerous. And I'm really glad I got to be a part of that time, and see all those bands. NY was tough, I don't miss that. But I can look back on the fun stuff, like how the wooden floor in front of the stage at The Ritz would bounce up and down like riding a wave once a crowd got going. I saw a ton of bands there, including Iggy Pop, Suicidal Tendencies and The Cramps. So here's a pic of punk rock ziggy circa 1984. https://substack.com/@ziggywiggy/note/c-22119495
