How can a few chords delivered w/ conviction & panache be so definitive?
Punk succeeded too well - in distancing itself from what came before - & in being intense & transitory...even now, the real History of it hasn't been written or acknowledged...efd will bring it...just Great.

@coelacanth: Ha! At the last job I had—and the first full-time professional gig I quit within weeks in my life—someone was in the office pantry saying “Wow! Someone brought in gluten free cake. Jake, would you like some?” And my response—because her tone was so annoying and I didn’t want it was—“Well, that cake looks great but you know… I like gluten… So if you or anyone in the office has spare gluten, give it to this guy!” The look on er face was past stunned. She had no idea that was a joke.

A week or so later I quit.

JakeGould:

@coelacanth: The way too see her is she was cool, but like a school marmish directory of thoughtful people so she was excessively sensitive. Not a bad person but when you are a heterosexual white male she was the kind of person who you could just say, “Nice and brisk outside!” and she would react as if you said something that hurt someone.
