social distortion concert

We went to Austin City Limits Music Festival a week ago.

This is the band Social Distortion.

They're an old school punk band.

The lead singer Mike Ness is funny.

He told a lot of jokes between songs. 

He asked if people even still buy cd's anymore.

My husband wanted to know what the deal was with the sudden back up singers, onstage, for the songs from the new album.

We didn't take photos of the back-up singers.

I want people to do their own thing,
 but back-up singers?
 

That just doesn't seem very punk rock to me.

Get an image of punk rock in your mind.

If you need help, look at our old Halloween costumes  here.

 Okay maybe that made things worse.

Social Distortion  was my favorite performance that day/night. They can leave the back-up singers at home.


 Below, is a scene from the movie Another State of Mind/ A Punk Documentary. The blue is an actual link to the whole flick.


 This is the scene when  Mike Ness explains the song Another State of Mind.

Look at how young he was in 1984.

In this scene above. He's getting his hair, & make-up ready. He calls it a sympathetic look.

I like this movie so much! The 1st time I watched it, I watched it again, the next day, with all the commentaries. Haven't you done that with a movie you liked?
