"By 1980 they had relocated to New York City, setting up shop at the city’s now-legendary club CBGB. “We played CB’s every friggin’ night,” “This whole ‘Sunday matinee’ thing is from us.
And we’re in their face, killing it. We got a weekend day, and by then a little buzz started happening.”
But still these were lean times for the band. “We were bumming on benches, selling weed to make food and stuff. We were hustlin’.”"

On 24 October 1979, Bad Brains performed 'Pay To Cum' live at CBGB's.

June 1980 saw the release of the Bad Brains' debut single, which changed the face of hardcore punk forever.

"Realising that they couldn’t rely on a record company to back them, [they] released their first single, the explosive Pay To Cum, DIY-style."

Dr. Know: "We pressed it, licked ’em, sticked ’em.
There were no labels signing this, it wasn’t like that."

Still waiting on 'Better' to be dropped as a single.

"How I love you how I miss you
But my solitude loves me better than you do."

Retired since 2011, Uderzo, then 87, returned to the drawing board shortly after the Charlie Hebdo attacks in 2015 and the loss of his close friend Cabu, to draw two tributes featuring his famous characters Asterix and Obelix.

The most powerful of these shows Asterix punching an attacker high in the air while angrily shouting: "Moi aussi je suis un Charlie", meaning: "I'm a Charlie too", after a previously published drawing showing the characters bowing in honour of the victims.

12 November 2007, 'Lust Lust Lust' is released as the third studio album by The Raveonettes.

"Along with their stylistically romantic view of vintage American pop culture there’s always been a miasma of bruised sexual energy and more than a suggestion of something a little sinister and sleazy lurking beneath the surface[...]"

Your need to respond to a message deploring the steady rise in hate crimes against Jews with an unsolicited invocation of the I/P conflict is in itself such a revealing demonstration of antisemitism.

It's the vile ‘antisemitism is bad, but...’ mentality and the inability to distinguish between the actions of a government and the fear and pain of people.

Not to mention your lack of human decency in trying to weigh human suffering against each other and choosing this moment to do so

The police launched tear gas against the marchers, some of whom began throwing stones and dirt clods in response.

The Fire Department attacked the protesters with cold water from their fire hoses, and the protesters continued to throw stones.

The marchers planned to walk to Dearborn, Michigan, to the Ford River Rouge Complex, the main Ford factory that housed the company's employment office.

Upon entering Dearborn, however, the protesters encountered city police.

"During the Great Depression, Detroit and its auto-industry suffered an exceptional amount.
After the stock market crash of 1929, around 80 percent of the industry was no longer producing and by 1932 large numbers of citizens were dying of starvation.
The Ford Motor Company, one of the richest employers, had laid off two-thirds of its employees.

On the morning of 7 March 1932, 3,000 former and current Ford workers and other unemployed members of the community gathered on the outskirts.

The police and Ford security began to shoot at the crowds of marchers, killing four marchers and injuring over sixty more.

The Ford Hunger March also became known as the Ford Massacre and sparked an outcry against the police brutality of unemployed protesters."
