…there is nothing more anti-punk/pro-disco than roller skates…
What about BROller skates?
You are on to something there…
Do I have gang experience?
I was in the Snake Eyes, the Duckies, the Kookoos, the Vampires, the Pharaohs, the Ballroom Dancers, the Hobo Lords, the Little Enchanters, and in '54 I joined the Monkey Lords, after that the Rockers, the Gentlemen Jims, the Czars, the Stars, the Mighty Midgets from Queens…

HAHA!!! I was having trouble placing that. Isn’t it from an episode of Seinfeld? Or “Get A Life”, maybe?
Anyway, what really made me laugh was when I tried to track it down.
Here’s how my search turned out . . .

Well,have you?
[reply]The Baseball Furies . . . yeah, they’re fairly identifiable and quite themed out for their name.
The Punks . . . uhhh, I kind of thought they’d all have green mohawks and ripped t-shirts and bondage pants. But, no, they all looked like hillbillies and
wore overalls.[/repl
And the leader wore roller skates…there is nothing more anti-punk/p
ro-disco than roller skates…
Speaking of people who should have appeared in the Warriors…wasn’t one of the New York Dolls wearing roller skates on the cover of their debut?
Isn’t it from an episode of Seinfeld?
That was The Van Buren Boys.

Just a shot in the dark, but is that from the episode of Flight of the Conchords where they try to start a gang? I seem to remember a monologue along those lines.
Pretty decent [url http://beintheloopchicago.com/al-jourgensen-doesnt-fucking-care/]article about this event.
Al acknowledges With Sympathy?

I’m 98% sure you called it!
The gang was THE TOUGH BRETS!

HAHA!!! Great article.
This birthday show that I shit on a million times actually sounds like the coolest and most edgy thing done in the last 10 years. I kind of wish I’d made it out there.
The bro-food would have just made it even more special.

Bingo.
I love that bit because almost every one of the greaser gangs the old guy mentions actually existed.
who’s Al?

I’m going to have to check out Yelp and see if I have any bro-food restaurants in my neighborhood. I’m intrigued now. We’ve got tons of Mexican and Thai, but I don’t know if I’ve seen any bro-food joints.

If you have a genuine interest in this bit of Americana (as I do) I recommend this site - it’s amateurishly put together, but it’s got a lot of interesting info.
who’s Al?
The old vampire from The Munsters.
Try to keep up.
I don’t think he would need to ask if we were in The Old Country…
