okay... so i'm in baltimore last month... in Hampden... and I see this shirt on a dude. I'm like "Wow! amazing!"... turns out it's Lucious Johnny V. wearing it ( LJV... member of the long defunct Martians... not the Baltimore band... the Harrisburg PA via Salisbury Phucknaught krew)."Man best shirt ever"... He got it here....http://www.misswit.net/BeachBoysMash ... so i went.. and got. I'm actually wearing it now!
Why is it so great? Well... the Iconic THE BARS mean alot... if you see em.. you know em. They are the symbol of the early to mid 1980's American Hardcore underground... not just the punks..(ie. Dischord. X-Claim. etc)... but the SST era. The meeting of Flag... and then The Meat Puppets.. The Minutemen... Husker DU... yadda.
Ok... California based... Black Flag... could only be rivaled by ONE other CA band... ... hmm... The Beach Boys. Two complete oppisites of the same coin... This shirt... grabs... and makes you think of all the possibilites it holds.
Sitting here now... i'm thinking... WOW... Flag were set up on Hermosa Beach in 82-83... Hmmm... maybe that's what it means?
Well... dig it. MY WAR
