I was a late bloomer and only got into Jawbreaker when Dear You came out. What a great band. I got into Jets to Brazil for a bit, but it's no Jawbreaker.

I liked Jets To Brazil, but mostly, I just wanted Jawbreaker to reform.

Nice! I think I was a late bloomer, too, honestly. The kids who were into punk seemed like lifetime expert sages who had been into punk forever. Most of them skateboarded and were exposed to the music that way. I wasn't a serous skater, so I missed out on that.

If it wasn't something "the masses" were wearing, there was a chance I'd wear it.

Great piece, Andrew. For someone who's such a softy now (see Dink-Dink), you were pretty hard core.

It was certainly important for me to go through this phase in my life, but it's also not just a phase, exactly. This way of thinking and lifestyle profoundly impacted the way I view the world, and I'm so glad I got to experience it.
