Lookout PO Box 12654 Berkeley CA 94712 It was called somewhat ludicrously - The Garden Spot, but we mostly called it the Garbage Spot. Nowadays all of Telegraph is a little sleazy, but at that time most of the sleaze stayed concentrated in that one place. Somebody saw Woody there, scrounging food along with the street people, and told us about it. We were kind of embarrassed; we didn't like being associated with the street people, even through our dog. Pretty soon Woody didn't come around much anymore. If you wanted him, you had to go down in frontof the Garbage Spot, and if you didn't have any food to offerhim, he didn't seem that interested in seeing you anyway. When he did come around the house, he had fleas, and smelled bad. Pretty soon people were leaving a bowl of food for him on the back porch and not inviting him in. Woody died while I was out in Michigan. I can't remember how or why. He wasn't very old, but he'd had a hard life. Hippies weren't that big on vaccinations, so it might have been distemper or something like that. Even though he and Woody hadn't been so close that last year, my brother was really broken up about it. He's always loved dogs, but he never got another one, and I don't think he ever will. Some acts are just too hard to follow.

It showed in the writing, too. There were a lot of good stories, but the exhaustion I was feeling in my life made it exhausting to write them and, from what I hear, exhausting to read as well. A couple months later I started compiling stories for Lookout #41, but it never happened. Pretty soon I was so busy with Lookout Records, which had grown from its humble beginnings in my bedroom to a multi-million dollar business, that I no longer had time to even think about producing a new issue. By 1997 I was completely burnt on not just the record business, but the whole punk rock music and zine scene. I leftLookout Records and retreatedinto a long period of voluntary oblivion. I stopped going to most shows unless I knew people who were playing, and stopped reading zines except for the obviously obligatory ones like Cometbus. I managed - barely - to produce a bi­ monthly column for Punk Planet, but often wondered what I was doing there: after all, I didn't even consider myself connected to the punk scene anymore. Since then I've spent most of my time in London, which I still consider my main home. I've visited the States pretty often, but usuaUy not for very long. I found Berkeley and San Francisco more painful than pleasant, too full of bad memories and frustrated dreams. Thepunk rock scene that once feltso exciting and fullof promise seemed to have become a bad caricatureof itself. So what am I doing back here, you rightly ask? First off, I'm not "back," at least in the geographical sense. I came to Berkeley for a brief visit that got extended by a month when my fatherwas taken ill. Whilehere I attended the ·... -··.. "Lookout Freakout," a series of concerts that was more like a family reunion, and began to rediscover my appreciation of both the music and people'who had once been such a major part of my life. I got the new Cometbus (#45), which I think may be the best Cometbus ever, and I think that was the main inspiration: as long as I was going to be spending an extra month in Berkeley, why not have something to show forit? So, for the firsttime in ages, I felt enthusiastic about writing and producing a zine. I decided to go back to basics, to do it on a small, more personal scale rather than the massive print runs of the last fewLookout zines. I still intend to -�\•.. resurrectthe old format,including more political coverage, fiction, memoirs, all . that stuffthat Lookout came to be associated with, but for this issue; I'll be· concentrating on music ilndlocal things.

It’s gonna create a very insane mailorder tsunami—it should be fun! I’ll do my part and get this to you by the 20th at the very latest. Please remember: you’ve gotta get your bix to me by May 30, if you wanna see your stuff fast rather than in early July... That means your envelope has to be in Corvallis by May 30. Hike! Okay, new release... First one out the gate is MP-515 THE PROMS Helpless Romatic. This one released on May 6, 1999 and the initial reac- tion to the album has been very, very positive. That sort of response from pop-punk fans is kinda a “no duh” to me, I knew this album kicked ass from the first time I heard the tape. It is gratifying to hear nice words none- theless. It’s quite a tremendous album when you get right down to it: awe- some songwriting, huge RAMONESy guitar riffs, and delightful deep har- monies akin to a very fine barbershop quartet.

Briefly describe the rationale for assignment to foundation area(s) and subgroup(s) chosen. This course falls into social analysis and visual and performance arts analysis and practice because it shows how punk, as a subculture, has influenced alternative economic practices, led to political mobilization, and challenged social norms. This course situates the activity of listening to punk music in its broader cultural ideologies, such as the DIY (do-it-yourself) ideal, which includes nontraditional musical pedagogy and composition, cooperatively owned performance venues, and underground distribution and circulation practices. Students learn to analyze punk subculture as an alternative social formation and how punk productions confront and are times co-opted by capitalistic logic and normative economic, political and social arrangements. 3.

    Next on our stage: OTHER DESERT CITIES CALENDAR GIRLS IDEATION SEPT. 22-OCT. 23 NOV. 17-DEC. 18 JAN. 19-FEB. 19 HIGHLIGHTS Tarif Pappu, Joey Pisacane and Andrew Erwin play three friends stuck in suburbia. All photos of City Lights’ production of Green Day’s American Idiot are by Susan Mah Photography. A companion guide to Green Day’s American Idiot with music by Green Day, lyrics by Billie Joe Armstrong and book by Billie Joe Armstrong and Michael Mayer. July 14-Aug. 21, 2016. Johnny (Joey Pisacane, center) feels drawn to the sensuous city girl Whatsername (Danielle Mendoza), but his dangerous alter ego St. Jimmy (Sean Okuniewicz) is determined to get in the way. Synopsis This Tony Award-winning rock extravaganza tells the story of three lifelong friends, forced to choose between their unbridled dreams and the safety of suburbia, on a quest for true meaning in a post-9/11 world. Based on Green Day’s Grammy Award-winning, multiplatinum album, and featuring Boulevard of Broken Dreams, 21 Guns, Wake Me Up When September Ends and the blockbuster title track, Green Day’s American Idiot boldly takes the American musical and City Lights where they’re never gone before. Characters Along with a powerhouse ensemble, this cast of 21 includes these featured characters: Johnny (Joey Pisacane): Also known as the Jesus of Suburbia (you’ll get it when you see the show), Johnny is one of three friends in suburbia trying to figure life out. His quest leads him to the city Tunny (Andrew Erwin): Another of the three friends.
