First reference to The Pond on here that I’ve seen. Big fan!

Minor Threat , Fugazi

Founders of the straight edge rock scene in america , no drink , no drugs , vegetarians , left wing politics

I would have put good money on him being a drug user. He said that he spent much of his time on DIY projects and had no time or the inclination to indulge in substance abuse.

If you had said to me back in the 70's which rock star looked most off his trolley, without hesitation I would have said Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull. But yet again I would have been way off the mark. It was only his stage persona and he has said during interviews that he never took drugs. Probably the most eloquent of speakers you will ever hear.

Such a memory of listening to that album constantly in Newport Bus Station and on the Cardiff bus on the to Castleton for an 8hr bollocking from customers or management on a 2-10 shift call centre job.

Went to a job working with lime to neutralise acidic waste then caking it in a hand pushed press and it was so much better.

Never had to worry about nasal hair then 😀
