On July 31, 1996 the Sex Pistols took the stage at Red Rocks Amphitheatre outside Denver in what would be the group’s first USA performance in 18 years. Six years later on August 4, 2002 BMF posted a MTV story on his website. It was reported that “the greatest band ever” might return to the US for a show in California. Jeff called me and casually mentioned in his cool way that if the Pistols showed up in California they might just go on tour and eventually come our way. Now even though BMF has a way of being cool under any fire, I know he is very, very passionate about what he likes, so I was not about to take the chance he might miss out on seeing the Sex Pistols perform live.

On August 5, 2002 BMF had a birthday which happened to be the same day KROQ radio announced the Sex Pistols would indeed headline the 2nd annual Inland Invasion Low Dough Show in Devore, California on September 14, 2002. I knew I’d be able to give him a difficult decision. You see as much as he loves punk, he also loves riding motocross and has talked about getting a another bike for a while now. I had planned on surprising him with a downpayment for a new bike when he got back from school in a couple weeks. But I decided to give him a choice. It didn’t take him long to choose the Pistols.

Five weeks from today I get a chance to be there with my very own Johnny Rotten who has been educating me for a while now about the essence of punk rock music. He expands my world every day by introducing music to me that he loves and then explaining why. The first gift he ever gave me was Johnny Rotten’s autobiography , and then gave me PiL’s , “Cassette”, because I liked the song Rise. He made me fall in love with the music and his stories, and then he made me fall in love with him. So this is my chance to give something back that I know he will love. Happy Birthday Baby!
