…And Thus, An Unlikely Battle Of The Bands Ensued
Here’s part of an email I got the other day… I thought you guys might enjoy it:
“It all started when my co-worker Dawn showed me a website featuring a band she claims to know personally. Bear in mind I’m not making this stuff up…they’re a Gay punk rock band called Pansy Division (I swear this is all true) and they have a documentary in release that discusses the travails and hardships of being A) Gay, and B) Punk Rockers. Dawn is a cutie, middle-aged like us, and I think was probably following the Grateful Dead around throughout the 80’s, selling tie-dyed T-shirts out of her car’s trunk. She’s that kind of gal.
So…I bring up your website and show her the Hellbusters, w/ your sampled concert et cetera et al…Dawn tells me she hates Blues Music but loves Punk…I respond wittily with “Wha???”
And then we start bringing people into her cubicle, taking a straw poll, real man-on-the-street hard hitting investigative journalism, and it pleases me to inform you that Hellbusters downed Pansy Division decisively, 8-3. We’d have polled more people but my boss popped into the hall and wanted to know what he was paying us for. Like selling a few more cases of fizzy drinks could be more important than deciding which musical group known to our fizzy-drink company employees is superior. Ha!”
So there you have it. We’re more popular in an 11 (or so) person office somewhere in the American Southwest than a gay punk band is. Obey the Hellbusters!
