How's this gonna go over ? Credit to them for banning the shit though.

NASCAR Bans Confederate Flag

Last week the Marines banned the stars and bars from its bases. Which mainly made me think, you were cool with the battle flag of secessionists before? For all the deep ugliness that has been released, there have been little symbolic victories along the way.
Yeah racist tattoos should be banned from the military and all forms of public service. I will also accept amputation.
Nothing makes me trust a cop more than a vomit of tattoos covering his arms. Yeah, I'm sure there's nothing racist lurking in the ink.
When I was a kid tattoos were only sported by people on the fringe of society like bikers and junkies. When I was in my 20s tattoos became de rigueur symbols of one's rebellious phase. Today, in my 40s, I see full sleeve tattoos an immediate cue that I might be dealing with a right wing goon. The celtic wrap tat around a bicep is as conformist as Johnny Unitas' haircut.

Congratulations! You've survived long enough to be sneered at by the generation following you. Take comfort that their lives will be worse than yours and that, collectively, you'll blame them for it.

Makes me think of Jello Biafra's line about metal fans: "No gym teacher could get so many kids to dress alike." True, but don't tell me that punk communities don't have a dress code.

I'm looking forward to watching my generation recede into cultural irrelevancy and being baffled by the new music and clothes.

You'll take comfort in all kinds of Best of 2005 compilations and rom-coms set in more innocent times like the global economic meltdown of 2008.

In Jello’s defense he said a lot of similar things about punks too.

And that’s all the defense I’ll give.

There was an interview from maybe ten years ago (maybe more?) where he said that speed metal was about all he found interesting in new music. I believe it was in response to a question about what current punk bands he liked.

Well, I had my first ever tick bite, which is weird considering I grew up playing in the woods. They gave me a single does of doxycycline, but after reading up on the single-does effectiveness, I'll just wait and see.
