In 1997, I had a terrible skater cut. There wasn’t a big hardcore punk contingent at my high school (mostly my older brother and me, actually) so most of my time was hanging out with the skaters. Granted, most were burner stoners, while I was honor roll nerd. It was an interesting mix. Especially since I sucked at skating, and most of them used their skateboards solely to get to the store to buy cigarettes. At one point, I started hanging with these younger dudes. They were all about hardcore, and helped open my eyes a little further — spirit of youth, I suppose. I rolled over to one of their houses in May of 97, and Ben D buzzed my head in his front yard. No attachment. I then spent the rest of the afternoon hanging and jumping on a trampoline — perfecting my stage dives, obviously. To this day, I’ll never forget Ben’s tshirt. He was rocking this Earth Crisis longsleeve. No, he wasn’t straight edge, but he had passion. Great dude. Shannon RIP.
