CCR has a blog, is that lame or cool?

I was sitting around at Sideonedummy on Friday and my friend Eddie suggested I set up a "blog" for Complete Control Radio. My first response was "no". Why would anyone want to read something about CCR everyday. But Eddie explained that I could post anything. Anything? Yes! Anything!!!! With that said, here we go. I am not a writer or a journalist so please bare with me. Alright enough apologies, you have been warned!
I love Punk Rock. Period. My first show was in 1982 in San Jose California with Social Distortion. From that point on I knew exactly what I was going to do. I wanted to be in a band (Front-Line, WAX and 22Jacks). As I got older I got involved with the D.I.Y. scene. Growing up in Northern California in the earlier 80's was unique time in the sense that alot of kids were putting on their own self promoted concerts(shows), making their own magazines (Fanzines) and most importantly starting their own bands and releasing their own music. Growing up in San Jose put me right in the middle of a great D.I.Y scene. Some of the bands that S.J. gave birth to were Los Olvidados, Ribzy, The Faction, The Stiffs, Mistaken Identity, Executioner and a ton more. During this time there was a radio show on KFJC hosted my Alex Morgan called "Vinyl Rights". Every Thursday night every punker in the Bay Area that could get the signal from the KFJC tower tuned in to "Vinyl Rights" to hear new music, interviews with bands and to find out who was coming to town. My goal with CCR is to be that show for people today. Make sense?

Damn, I wrote way more than I thought I would. En ought for now. Check out this video of The Ramones. Joey's 58th B-day would have been on this Tuesday.



Ramones Forever!!!
