At the punk and ska shows I used to go to in high school and beyond, I would always dream about the day I could go to the bar, grab a beer and hop in the pit. But when I finally turned 21 and got to a show, I felt kind of old. The bands get older and the fans stay the same age. Maybe that's why I moved on.
"A moment of silence, a lifetime of laughter" is a lyric from the Mighty Mighty Bosstones' Noise Brigade. The Bosstones were dropped from the original bill of the first concert I ever attended. Here, I reminisce on various moments of silence and noise in a lifetime of laughter and a few scattered tears. "On the brighter side and on a happier note; the noise, well it's just love that gets caught in my throat."
