Welcome to 2025
Welcome to 2025. Any chance we get a comp as good as this one? Doubtful.
We are living in the dumbest possible timeline. On the shit side, we get Donald Trump for another four years and at his inaugural the richest man in the world sieg heiled twice. Then while the far right celebrated it online, many MSM outlets and even the fucking ADL told us to not trust our lying eyes.
Just over 25 years ago, we were literally still fighting to keep nazis out of hardcore. This month marks the 26th anniversary of the nazi beatdown at the Cocodrie in San Francisco and the 25th anniversary of the nazi beatdown in San Diego at the Che Cafe. My point is, this shit is going to start creeping in again not with goons showing up to HC shows looking for a fight but with apologists, gaslighters, and sympathizers.
“He’s autistic so he bears no responsibility for his actions.”
“He’s just trolling. LOL ur triggered!”
There’s a very basic line in the sand here. What side are you on?
Fuck nazis. Fuck white power.
On the aight side, we now have two versions of 25 Ta Life playing gigs.
Recently a lineup of dudes who played in and wrote the music for 25 Ta Life in the ‘90s got back together with Jayway of Bayway on vocals. They’ve done a couple gigs and have announced online that they’ve recorded and to expect new tunes soon.
Then this past weekend, videos surfaced of Rick Ta Life playing a show in Long Island with a different lineup.
Does Yogi have the right idea? (I just hope both teams have fun!)
And yea, yea…I’ll post it…

Is it a 25 ta life show if there isn’t Rick’s famous flea market?
This is so much more fun than two Cro-Mags.
