How can I not respond? The Ramones redifined the definition of ugly. After watching a popular hero movie my kids asked me what that song was. I told them a little about the origins of Blitzkrieg and the origins of the Ramones. I then showed them some close up pictures of the Ramones. They are used to BTS and said, "Can they allow ugly rock stars?"
Veruca Salt looks like a young Jonnie Mitchell but much more direct. The crowd is like a roaring ocean. The 90s scene in Chicago was mostly underground clubs and halls rented out. I moved on but the music never dies.
I like this approach at posting all your vented up frustrations and introducing Verucca. Such a great name for temper tantrum. Have you ever met someone named Verucca in real life?
I didn't know Verruca salt was a hometown band. I was just leaving the music scene in Chicago when they appeared. The drummer Jim Shapiro seems real familiar. They are all younger than me or I would have remembered. Thanks for sharing the concert link. From 92-98 I mostly studied or was in the lab with little time to go to any concert.
Crazy stuff. I don't think I can do that anymore.
