Man, were Bad Brains great.

Goldfinger has a song called "Get What I Need" that opens with the lines:

It was thirty years ago since we smashed the window
Of that northern California house
A safety pin in my ear on Cayton's bike
Playin' Bad Brains fuckin' loud

Still listen to both that song and a ton of Bad Brains regularly.

Impressive! It has been a long time for me. I was sort of on the periphery of all that in the late 70s and early 80s. I was a long haired hippy, and that DID NOT FLY! Many of my friends cut their hair into spikes or mohawks, but I still remained tight with them. I remain good friends with all of them to this day.

Some of those friends were members of popular DC bands at the time, like The Slickee Boys and Tru Fax And The Insaniacs.
