Brings me back to the mid 80s. My roommate liked to play "Dish It Out ", first thing in the morning. He went out to see James White at the Foufounes Électriques. I declined, thinking, junkie music... I would go, today.

Heavy Ben
R.I.P. James White aka Chance. Chance was a confrontational figure, goading audiences with violence and infamously attacking rock critic Robert Christgau during one gig. “I would do it on the beat – I would jump into the audience and slap someone on two and then I would get back on to the stage on three, and then back and forth". It was acceptable in the 80s?

Hey Ben, perhaps not generally acceptable in the 80s, but in line with the sound of the music and the whole No Wave scene i guess.
