The Evens - Let’s Get Well
Seeing Fugazi was life changing for me. The bleak landscape I was trodding through (BF- before Fugazi) suddenly turned into color, and dare I say it, they made me feel hopeful. Guy Picciotto… always struck me as a character from a twisted fairytale more than just some guy who happened into a band. not so much larger than life, more like a person who was born to be onstage. And Ian MacKaye is not only a great songwriter but also funny as shit. The guy has a kind of impossible charm and also the ability to say what he means so precisely in one one phrase. It can’t be easy to be the canvas every American punk boy projects himself onto. Suffice it to say I love this band.

You see me and you laugh out loud
You taunt me from safe inside your crowd
My looks, they must threaten you
To make you act the way you do.
