On this track Kris welcomes GREG GRAFFIN, front man for the punk
band BAD RELIGION, a band whose no nonsense approach and Do It
Yourself spirit helped them rise to the top of the Punk scene in
L.A. and far beyond. Greg discusses their new punk rock
manifesto, “Do What You Want”, the band’s outlook on the state of
the world, and the nearly fatal rock concert that was not widely
covered by the media.  


Excerpt from DO WHAT YOU WANT (Hatchette
Book Group):


“We started playing the show,” Greg recalled, “and a big hole
opened up in front of me on the dance floor and bodies started
falling into the hole.” The people who had been standing in front
of the stage disappeared into the space where the floor had been.


Bad Religion stopped playing and the people on the right side of
the dance floor shouted in protest, unaware of what had hap-
pened. But the screams of those who had fallen or were in danger
of falling drowned them out. A huge cloud of dust rose from the
lower level and people continued to tumble into the pit. 


Special Thanks to  GREG GRAFFIN AND
TO THE ENTIRE BAND FOR THEIR SUPPORT. Thanks also to BRETT
GURWITZ and EPITAPH RECORDS for the use of Bad Religion’s library
of music, MICHAEL GIARRATANO and everyone at HATCHET BOOK
GROUP.
