Pogoing was great fun. Mosh pits were stupid and depressing - kind of pictured in Repo Man.
I've mentioned previously being at a Ramones show at Allen's in Scotia, NY (I think t was Scotia...) and there was a big sign behind the band "No Slam Dancing". I always liked that.

Yeah I agree. Punk was about expression and enjoyment and all welcome but slam dancing made it virtually impossible for girls to get involved in the fun.gkbill wrote: ↑23 Jan 2021, 1:47pmHello,Marky Dread wrote: ↑23 Jan 2021, 7:10amWhat footage are you referring to mate.
