This masterpiece was released OTD, April 8th, in 1977.
Not only is this record one of the best albums ever (IMO), it’s in the conversation of one of the best debut albums of all time. #theclash

Had a great time speaking w/ @stacilayne.bsky.social about my book, SLACKER - 1991, Teen Spirit Angst, and the Generation It Created.
We discussed the early 90s grunge takeover of music & culture, the importance of lyrics in music, mental health, & more.

“All the power's in the hands
Of people rich enough to buy it
While we walk the street
Too chicken to even try it” - White Riot/The Clash
One of the many reasons they earned the title of “The only band that matters”.

Exciting news alert!
My book, SLACKER is going global!
This was slated to happen late ‘25, but due to higher than expected demand from outside the US & online booksellers, it’s happening now.
My site has signed copies ready to ship in the US but you can now preorder anywhere books are sold!

One of the things that resonated so much with fans of grunge & alternative in the 90s was the merging of music & message. Convictions matter…

“The best songs are the ones that make you feel something. When things weren’t easy for me, growing up, I felt music saved my life. I had absolutely nothing else besides music. So if we’re gonna play or write a song, you know, write about something that means something.” - Eddie Vedder

A Gen X book about the underground music and culture from the mid-80s through the 90s. The collective experiences from our generation led to amazing music that’s still alive today!
