Jim Lindberg Quits Pennywise
After 19 years, nine records, and “Bro Hymn,” Jim Lindberg has split from the SoCal skate-punk group Pennywise for reasons unmentioned possibly to write a book.
Remaining band members Fletcher Dragge, Byron McMackin, and Randy Bradbury have this to say about the departure:
White Trash Renegades: The Supervillains, Authority Zero, Pennywise, and Pepper at the 9:30 Club
Skate rock (Think Sublime’s genetic material crossed with that of Minor Threat) is a lot like milt. Some people get a mouthful of the creamy white stuff and think, “So this is fish sperm. Not bad!” Other people take a bite, move it around with their tongues, and then say to themselves, “Oh god, I just put fish balls in my mouth.” They panic. They look for a trash can, a napkin, maybe some condiments to amend the taste. They crunch up crackers and squirt cocktail sauce directly into their gaping, fishy maws. When that doesn’t work, they spit what’s left into their hands and shove it in their pockets.
