October is the Cruelest Month

October: National Equality March in 2009 on National Coming Out Day; Matthew Shepard's murder in 1998 and Dan White's suicide in 1985.
I begin the blog already messing up time frames and themes--is this a queer blog or a punk? "Queer punks vs. Gays" read some graffiti in SF in 1978. Did Marlon spray it? Martin? Me?
October 1978 and punk is about to die.
"the best show in punk history"--Dils, Avengers, Zeros, Plugz and Angry Shoppers at 1839 Geary at Fillmore in San Francisco.
"We're so young but we don't know what to do," I wrote then. "We're so bored, I wonder what we did when we were twenty-two/ Now we're so bored."
