two true stories.
1: I was at my grandmothers and I must have been about six and some punk rock video was on early music tv (don't think it was mtv) ..complete with safety pins,etc. I was pogoing around the room. My grandmother walked in, turned off the tv and said 'good people don't listen to that music'
2: About 10 years old and I was listening to Bon Jovi and Van Halen and I went to the corner store and bought a copy of Circus Magazine just because it had an article about Bon Jovi in it. I hid it inside the piano bench. My mother found it, was horrified that here were pics of the metal boys without shirts on and she screamed - i can still hear it now - 'Get this pornography out of my house'
So, I always had the musical taste but I supressed it from that point on..wouldn't let myself admit to liking it until one friend who was in a punk band in high school took me to my first small punk gig and it was like my real personality came rushing back.
oh and if anyone ever heard of a punk band called Buring Ambitions that was touring the east coast (mostly Philly area) in the mid to late 90's I would love to find that friend again.
