Hey all,
$20 is a lot for nostalgia.
The main point I was trying to make is that the show is basically him playing CRASS songs.
It is NOT CRASS.
I have read the many interviews and the rest of the band are very upset at what he is doing.
I also personally know people who have visited with the other members of CRASS recently,
So I actually do know what I am talking about.
It makes me sad that so many in the USA are buying into this all, thinking it's CRASS.
I talk as someone who has listened to this band since 1980. (and almost got to see one of their last shows in the UK).
CRASS meant ALOT back in the day and was such an influential force on so many.
So maybe you can understand why alot of older Punks/Anarchos like me are angry and
supporting the others members of CRASS.
I would say PLEASE go support Punk and Anarcho bands that are still playing, making NEW material,
not charging a load of money and not on the nostalgia gravy train.
Support DIY.
Many of the Punks & Anarchos in the UK have been actively boycotting this farce.
And can not afford the price for these gigs or the merch - shirts/patches etc.
They were selling shirts for 40pound at the Feeding of the 5000 show in London.
That's almost 80 dollars.
Nostalgia is a lie that they line their pockets with.
That's it from me.
