Greg Graffin?? Really??

Can you get me an autograph?

[RedSoxFan]

Ian --- I'll see what I can do. We just met him last week (we've only been in our house for a year) and he was telling us all about his band, etc. Anyway, we have a HUGE pile of logs to be split that my DH is going to share with him in the fall. I'll ask him then. Seems like a very nice guy. Funny -- DS18 already new about the band and that he lived on our street. I have never heard of the band before.

Ha ha ... I was just kidding. I don't want you to put yourself out, but it was very nice of you to offer.

I'm not surprised you've never heard of them. They're actually not very well known outside of the punk world. They really have never had more than one or two "hits" (A Walk & 21st Century Digital Boy), but their music is actually pretty accessible to anyone. It's not "hardcore" in the sense that most true punk music is.

Greg Graffin is actually a very interesting guy. He holds a Ph.D. in zoology and writes some very insightful, almost poetic lyrics.

Oh boy. Like some of you there is no way I can get them all. During my high school years I practically lived at concerts. I'm pretty sure I saved most of my tickets in a box somewhere but a bunch from around the year 2000 have completely faded.
