There But For The Grace Of God, Goes You

7inch-a-day asked: Your father saw the Ramones!? What a cool dad... if he has any good Ramones stories, you should share them :)

when he was a younger man, he saw Charles Mingus perform in a club. He saw Roland Kirk sitting in the club, and went over and “played it cool” with him. When he was a young dad he snuck into a theater to watch Mountain soundcheck. Said it was the loudest thing he’d ever heard.
