Germs Interview, Flipside #2 1977

bobby: you know what's fun, you take like 10 hits of acid and drink a 6 pack of beer and you go down to santa monica pier, there's a bridge that goes to nowhere cause they're supposed to lower it for boats and you go out to the end and jump off right, and you can swim and it's so great cause it's dark you know and you can just swim and it doesn't matter if you live or die or anything just swim and swim and you can feel the fish nibbling at your feet.......

BOBBY: WE WORE SEX PISTOLS T-SHIRTS 10 YEARS BEFORE THE SEX PISTOLS.

PAT: THE ONLY REASON PEOPLE COME TO SEE US IS TO GET HURT.

CLIFF: FUCK MODERN ART, WE'RE THE KINGS OF NOISE.

LORNA: DON'T TAKE PICTURES I LOOK LIKE A POODLE.

Alice Bag

Bags review forthcoming. Until then check out Alice Bag's piece where she talks about her friendship with Darby Crash here

It was published in an art magazine recently, but appears to have been written for her blog, Diary of a Bad Housewife

Cynthia Connelly, a big inspiration to me as a young woman, cited Alice Bag as an early influence on her, as a teen in the LA punk scene. I always liked the Bags, but never had an LP by them, until now...more soon!
