Nostalgia

Ok, at the risk of some personal embarrassment, I am posting some pictures of myself. I hope some of you get a good laugh! That is part of the point of posting them anyway.

The reason I thought to post these is because I started thinking about my own "salad days" when I played in THE FUX and THICK RICHARD from 1995ish to 2000. I also miss doing my radio show on WLVR, which I did for many years as part of the community staff. More than these things though, I really get nostalgic about shows that I went to see, the people that I met and formed friendships with...

I wonder if it is just me, or if the Lehigh Valley, like Johnny Loftus' punk cover band name suggests, has a NOSTALGIA CRISIS. I suppose we all feel this way from time to time, but the LV seems to feel so much more nostalgic than anyplace else I have been. This is partly because it is where I grew up, but I think the sentiment of nostalgia is especially strong here. Does anyone else feel this way?

Here are some pics of me from back in the day and one from last year's punk rock picnic with my niece, Mae, in Emmaus, PA. They are unfortunately the only pics that I can find of myself. That is itself a nostalgia crisis!
