I met Keith Morris about four years ago at a book signing. I told him that one of my favorite scenes in the film "Repo Man" is that loung scene where he and The Circle Jerks are playing acoustic. He told me the whole story about how he and the guys had to endure wearing these very uncomfortable tux outfits while waiting almost the whole day in this really hot trailer, just to shoot that one short scene. He was so cool! The man is a legend.
He signed my copy of his excellent book and gave me a knuckle bump. Good times!
came across this band as the bassist of one of my faves (Watchmen) wears an Off! hat and T on stage a lot, and constantly talks about them on social media.
Darwinspeed, all.
Cheers,
HFD

OFF! I talked with Keith Morris for a few minutes at his book signing for his memoir at Dimples in Folsom some years ago (probably mentioned that somewhere here already). What a great guy! That was awesome! Love his book too!

Yeah good stuff so far. Saw them with PJ on 2014 euro tour at Milton Keynes. Great show top to bottom.

I must say I do love the circle jerks. Last time they were playing during wheel of fortune. Which I never miss. Never saw them or off I must say. Got to get out there and have a blast. Do you think Mr Sayjack would come with me? Yeah right. Call his office, may I speak with Pat? Yes oh hi Pat. I'd very much like your company at the OFF show. I must say we could do some crowd surfing and maybe mosh it up a bit. You know I'll bust up anyone that bashes you you watch my back. Maybe you can bring Vanna as our DD? Right right. Like that would ever happen. Maybe I'll try. I must say, it couldn't hurt to ask...

I can see it, Lou, seriously. You and Pat and Vanna in the mosh pit slam dancing, getting a few ribs bruised, maybe a bloody nose and a black eye. Pat yelling, "SPIN THE DIAL KEITH, SPIN THE DIAL!" Hell yeah. Good times!

Yeah blux! Maybe in my dreams tonight. Love me some Ed Grimley. Met Martin Short and Bernadette Peters once after a Broadway show (not a mosh pit). Super cool dude.
You have some competition from another dude with a pile of stories. You will always wear the crown bud.
Ed Grimley. Character from saturday night live I adored. Says 'I must say'. So I went off in a flashback tangent and amused myself for a few minutes. Heyyyy I thought it was funny, but if you don't know him it's just plain stupid. No offense intended. Just a little fun. I must say...

Oh ok. I knew it was Ed Grimley but wasn’t too familiar with his character at all. 😀
