re:generationals
positive habits: attempting to see the humanity in everyone.
negative habits: cigaretttttttttttes :[
Oh man, so many good folks.
So another fellow that came out of the Mekons, Jon Langford, did quite a bit of stuff under his own name, and has been a member of the Pine Valley Cosmonauts and the Waco Brothers and now has been touring under the name of Skull Orchard.
I’ve been listening to a lot of Big Star lately, and frontman Alex Chilton got his start in a group called the Box Tops, playing radio-friendly pop music.
generationals! worst habit: biting my darn finger nails
best habit: starting to throw my cigarette butts away!
Winners have been notified. Thanks guys!
