Bad Booze

So this is a list of the 10 worst things I’ve drank and why. In the underground scene, most of us have done unhealthily questionable drinking. This came out of a conversation I had with Aaron Carne’s, the author of In Defense Of Ska since his book mentions Kool Colt 45. #1 Camo Black. This stuff is like 13 percent malt liquor.

Maty’s Corner Issue # 2 Musings From Maty             What happened to skateboarding? I mean really.  How did we go from a bunch of dangerous half psycho punk rockers to these wanna be gang bangers who don’t respect shit!?!  I got into skate boarding and punk rock when I was 15.
