Punks at Cornerstone and The Poster War - by N.L. Belardes
The other day I was hanging out at the Spotlight and I was told how great Active Ingredients really are, and how awesome it is for bands to be playing at a clean venue, like the one over at Cornerstone Church where Active Ingredients were billed to play along with the Kookoonauts et. al.
I'm kookoo for kookoonauts!! I'm sorry, I just love that line.
Well yesterday I was walking downtown and saw a light pole just choked with packaging/postal tape. It was near Bakersfield High, and I'm telling you, this lightpole didn't need a push-up bra the tape had been wrapped around the pole so many times. Lift and separate those flyers, lift and separate. You know, can you imagine the person needing to clean those posts and poles? And who circles a pole that many times? There's only been one dust storm of 1977's power. Ease up. Leave some for sending packages to Paraguay. I want to know. Are there reports out there of sightings where people are seen holding posters and ringing lightpoles with fairy dust in their hair and singing ring around the rosy all rosy-cheeked with childhood skipping glee?
OK, so I have an active imagination, but just when I wanted to let dead dogs lie, I got word of more local wrongdoings. Here's the email I just received titled, "POSTER WAR IN B-TOWN":
Last night at the Corner Stone Church, the stained glass was rattlin'. Hardcore Bands from near and far were layin ' the laws with the thunder of Gibson and Fender guitars, and earth shaking drum flurries and rumbling bass lines. Man this stuff is awesome! Crimson Stained Nails, Active Ingrdeiants, The Kookoonauts and several other bands were rockin the hollowed ground...
It was brought up by the Kookoonats that some one or some group has been pulling down their posters and shredding them on their front lawn and throwing raw eggs all over their car and house. If you think this sucks you are correct, but what was worse is that Active Ingredients was cited and fined $147. 00 for posting their flyers. They said they thought Jerry's or Nate Berg possibly reported them and filed a complaint. They were called hypocrites for doing so as they post more posters than any one and post them with permanent postal tape...
The punk war goes on..
