Excellent. I remember seeing the Jerks several times in the early 80′s and they always seemed to provoke this kind of stuff, whether it was skinheads or jocks or cops… whatever. They were such a great band, Keith Morris has to be up there as one of the all-time great frontmen. I’ve never been to Trenton or New jersey for that matter, but I went to a lot of shows and know the exact same feelings of tension and incipient violence that was within the scene. That kind of danger was part of what made those days so wild and fun, no matter where you were. Just a great story and I look forward to reading more.

I loved this article. I had to listen to the Circle Jerks afterwards. My favorite part:

“At west coast punk shows they still chase their tails: they still “circle pit” out there – even to this day. We stopped doing that in 1986.”

True that! I was born in 1986 and I still circle pit.
