Ian MacKaye & Glen E. Friedman discuss Black Flag and the new book "What I See"

Ian MacKaye and Glen E. Friedman discuss Glen's new book on BLACK FLAG "What I See" at Rough Trade records in New York City, April 1st 2022.
This was the book release talk and signing event for New York City. Questions were also taken from the live audience.
"What I See" the BLACK FLAG photographs of GLEN E. FRIEDMAN is published by Akashic books and can be purchased directly from their website discounted or signed by the author www.akashicbooks.com/catalog/b...
What I See: The Black Flag Photographs of Glen E. Friedman is an incredible compilation of all of Friedman’s most iconic and recognizable images (from 1980 to 1983), of this seminal American punk band, as well as over one hundred never-before-seen photos made during those phenomenal peak years in the group’s history.
The book includes a foreword by Chuck Dukowski, a cofounder and bass player of Black Flag. Friedman’s own introduction to the book takes readers through his journey with the group, from the very first time he heard their music, to his perspectives on the music of the era, to the how, why, and what Black Flag was doing at the time. His words provide additional context to the imagery, explaining what drove him to create his art alongside the band.
From the streets around Black Flag’s single-room home base/office, rehearsing for their first album, handing out flyers, wheat-pasting posters, driving for hours to a show and returning the same night, house parties, clubs, to the big stage and the beach, Glen E. Friedman was there with his heart, soul, and most importantly his camera. In What I See, he shares with us and inspires us with these images that were made over an incredibly volatile four-year time span.

Minor Threat - out of shape

[@mercutiomurphy2743]

bahahah, dude he's 60. This guy is way too principled, it's almost annoying. The chances of a Fugazi or Minor Threat reunion is steadily dwindling, if not totally dead.
