Jack McF*dden Known as Sk*ppy

Man, 6th grade rock kids get a whole hell of a lot of press. First, it was Listmaker, then it was a Columbia newspaper, then New York magazine and now the NY Times.

I wonder how the son (gray haired gentleman in the middle of the picture) of the famous war general (think failed US war, 1960's) feels about his son digging on the Minor Threat.

Doing their best Sleater-Kinney photo impersonation.
But the best part of the article is from local legend Sk*ppy.
“Oh my god, there’s like a huge, huge kid-rock scene here,” said Jack McFadden, known as Sk*ppy, who booked the show at Union Hall. “It’s really very indicative of P*rk Slope, since so many of the parents who live around here are hip and have these hip little kids that they dress in, like, CBGBs T-shirts.”

UPDATE:
The same article?

Something about all this sits a little uneasily with me. I prefer my rock n' roll to come from those who can actually rock n' roll. But hey, good luck to them.

mondale, just because you are a bad teacher and have never gone to see a former student play in his band doesn't mean the band stinks.

You're right, It's because I shun them that they are successful. How will I ever live with myself?
