I am in two punk bands. In the one most recently formed (somewhat
emo-influenced punk) I just sing (which I will admit is a little awkward
as I have been complacently hiding behind the mask of a guitar for the
past two years) and the other (the one that's been annoying a small but
loyal fan base for the past eight hundred and some odd days) I play bass
guitar. Nothing beats the feeling (with, perhaps, the exception of
writing a truly remarkable piece of literature (which I wouldn't know
from experience since I am just barely over the mediocre mark when it
comes to writing)) of playing to an entirely receptive and happy
gathering of like minded kids. I don't know if punk rock requires a
musical bone but it does provide a sense of elation. Dance while you have
the chance. Love, Robbie
 
P.S. I think it's far better to be naive than jaded. The world is so much
more exciting and everything is an eye-opening adventure. "it seems like
all the fun we have is talking about the things we used to do..." - the
