A short exerpt:
"My name is Joe Dick.
I formed the
seminal punk band
Hard Core Logo back in 1977.
I was eighteen years old.
It was my ninth band.
I am now thirty-two.
The band is
defunct.
It was a friendly ending,
but we played up
the dissent thing'cause that's
what people wanted.
We were
the populist band.
We manufactured our ending
to fit the mold.
That was the most
commercial thing
we ever did, breaking up."
