Wow. As a musician since 1960, rock, blues, opera, psychedelia, jazz, metal, punk, grateful dead, grunge, even some pop, I think of myself as having a very wide range of musical tastes. Rare that something exceeds that range.

Yoko Ono exceeds my range, not in a good way.

Turns out FEAR exceeds my range, but only because of the physical mayhem associated with the performance (their music is fine).

Thank you for posting that video link. I needed to stretch. :-)

Never heard of Fear.
But due to a series of weird circumstances I found myself in the mosh pit at a Dead Kennedys performance once.

I managed to escape to the bar where I ordered a martini and got a VERY hostile (”you’re obviously too old & square to be here”) look from the bartender to go with it.

When I leaned back on the bar, I noticed a vaguely familiar middle-aged woman on the barstool beside mine. I couldn’t figure out where I’d seen her before.

Both of us were people-watching the punk-ish crowd when a clanking, safety-pin-in-cheeks studded, leather-clad guy with a nine-foot-high day-glo green Mohawk stomped by.

The woman turned to me and said, “Jeeeeez! These KIDS! Did you see THAT?”

And just like that, I recognized her.
It was Grace Slick.

True story. LOL.
