Dilemmas

Jim Lindberg, lead singer for Pennywise, answers the question of how to be a responsible 41 year old punk rock father.

“This is the graying of punk rock where a lot of people who grew up in the 1970s and 1980s are now at an age where they are having kids and getting mortgages. It is a new experience for us," Lindberg told Reuters in a telephone interview.

"The strangest part for a lot of my peer group is that we grew up championing the rights of expression but then you see some slasher movie and won't let the kids watch it."

I love that. He is absolutely right. It is funny how quickly one's kids trump one’s heartfelt ideals.
