“Brian would later go on to not only allegedly “borrow” rare punk records from his friends and sell them.”

Where do you get this info? I sold this guy just about all his records in the mid 80′s from my personal collection. He must have gotten his cash from mommy and daddy. I never asked. I was selling for more than this crap was worth. All these records were what I aquired from working at my high school radio station and from Wax Trax in Chgo or Rave On records in Wheaton. I remember the guys name but not the face. Thank god as I do recall he was not to nice to look at.

Brian. Let the record reflect that I said “allegedly”. A couple fellow old-timer punks from the DG area allege that you took a bunch of records from them back in the day. That is why I say “allegedly” because that is the story I heard and years of booze soaked memories don’t make for the best of facts. I recall you working at Wax Trax, which I used to frequent often, as well as J.R.’s Music Shop when you worked there earlier.

Attacking me personally certainly wasn’t called for, you could have just stated your story and left it at that. I don’t have any ill will towards you, back in the day I considered you a friend. Also, you didn’t sell me all my records, though I did buy some from you back then, and the money for those came from working, not my parents.

I understand you are in Local H? Care to fill me in on what you’ve been up to since the end of ROTA instead of childish insults directed my way?

“Attacking me personally certainly wasn’t called for,”

Who started the attack? What isn’t called for? By posting bogus info you opened yourself up for this. Do you actually think that what you wrote was in any way needed for a “review” of the PJ? 7″?

Next time you see your “old-timer punks from the DG area” tell them I say hi.

PS- as much as I (and I’m sure you) loved the times back then. The truth is, punks dead, grow up and move on.

OK Brian, you have a point there, I should not have relayed the ramblings of a couple drunken punks to be fact without asking the accused. My apologies and I removed that line from the entry.

Punk may be dead, but the music, or the crap that people are trying to pass off as music for the most part, sucks and I’ll take my old punk records over what’s available today any day of the week.

Now, if you’d care to chime in with your version of the Political Justice history, I would love to hear it. Those were great times and I hold those punk years very close to heart.
