I don't know if you are like me in that music can transport me back in time to when a song first made an impact or gained importance in my life. Or sometimes to when a fun song brightened a dark period. I first heard this tune while driving a rental car on what for me was the wrong side of the road while working in Malaysia. It was January 1999, I had been in Penang for several months including the Christmas season and was missing my wife and family and feeling dark, looking for an excuse to cut the job short and leave. On the radio came this track, and it grabbed my attention and made me smile. I had to pull over to listen, hoping the DJ would tell me who it was. I became a fan. It's a silly song, it's pop-punk, but at the time it was just what I needed. Yesterday I heard it again for the first time in a a while driving and listening to the Faction Punk Sirius XM radio channel, and suddenly I was mentally in Malaysia again hearing it for the first time.

I was a big Offspring fan from when 'Smash' first came out - totally loved 'Self-Esteem' and all the rest. I liked their next few after that too, but I've not heard their most recent stuff. And it's pretty cool that Dexter Holland has a doctorate in molecular biology; I wonder if he hangs out with Dr Brian May at all?

Saw the Offspring at the Warfield in San Francisco a few decades ago, and after the encore when everybody is leaving, some guy decides he's going to try to balcony-dive; I think he was unclear on the concept of when you're supposed to do that (if ever!). He'd got his hands on the rail and one leg over when he decided that wasn't such a good idea after all (if it ever was!) - fortunately, my friend and I were in the balcony, and helped him back to safety...

From a few years earlier - one of my very first concert shoots, and I didn't much know what I was doing so they're not my best, but it's history - Laurel Pop Festival, Laurel, MD, summer 1969 (this would have been shortly before the Woodstock fest happened).....

Despite how you saw yourself Larry, the photos are excellent high contrast b&w under difficult lighting. You were and are a natural, should’ve been shooting for Rolling Stone!!!
