and i weigh in with Alkaline Trio  (there's bits about
drinking and razors and so forth, but it's so jumpy
it's hard to censor) and also with the fact that I
LOVED LOVED LOVED the clash around age 13, and also
the ramones, because my (10 yrs older) sister did and
i pretty much wanted to be her. and cheap trick.  (i
mean she had cheap trick, not that i wanted to be
cheap trick.) I actually didn't much like her sex
pistols stuff then, though i accepted it as
educational.

re: the muffs: I have some gal pals that call
themselves the power muff girls and periodically have
muff parties and the like - i think of it as sort of
taking back the term, just like the muffs and the
slits and hole etc have done. You know, a grrl power
thing.  There's nothing wrong with relating that to a
12 year old - she might not grok the politics
altogether, but she can still wave her fist in the
air.
