Did you know that Penelope Spheeris directed both The Little Rascals and The Decline of Western Civilization? Well you will after the opening of this issue. Standouts in this multi-contributed zine include an essay on the current marriage between punk rock and the alt-right, with slogans like, “Trump is punk!”, which you can of course buy on a T-shirt if you so desire, and an essay on what the future of live music will be like after a year of COVID-19 shutting down venues and bands cancelling shows or tours. I see concerts creeping back into my social media, but I worry if we’re all maybe too optimistic (honestly, asking someone to mosh and wear a mask sounds like a recipe for passing out). The issue closes out with a review of SLC Punk, the contributor’s second viewing, and the differences between watching it as a kid versus as an adult. It made me remember how much I disliked the movie as a teenager, thinking Stevo really “sold out” in the end. Maybe it’s time for me to revisit this film as well. –Tricia Ramos (Kat Wood, 1337 Bates Ave., LA, CA, 90027, IG: @thegreatrocknrolldwindle)
