First, a car for your time, because Gulf Singer Porsche:

For a long time in my life I was taught that I was different, and that I didn’t belong. This came from my peers and authority figures who didn’t know how to deal with a smart kid who had medical issues that caused him to piss his pants on a pretty regular basis. They wanted to put me in with the developmentally disabled kids when I was in middle school despite the fact that I was reading and doing math at a level much higher level than the other kids. Just because I pissed my pants about once or twice a week.

I have a strong feeling that these were strong contributing and exacerbating factors toward my depression and subsequent other issues.

But I found a place in Punk Rock. We were brothers and sisters in our rejection.

We had strength from the rejection, neglect, and abuse that we had to face. We had faith in each other.

We didn’t need the loyalty of others because we had to learn to stand up by ourselves. Because society at large didn’t know what we had gone through.

And we knew we’d play a part in history.

But now I’m old, and falling apart:

Funny thing is that I never really got into the Ramones. I much prefer the Clash.

I like them both but I’ve always preferred Mr. Strummer.

The Ramones had Rock and Roll High School .

This is why I love going to punk/metal gigs and festivals. So many friendly misfits and weirdos, just like me.
