This week is my fandom anniversary, 10 years ago I watched Velvet Goldmine for the first time and then I found all the good stuff online. This movie was also my first real listen of the music by The Stooges - so something very good to celebrate.

Today is the 30th Anniversary of the release of London Calling by The Clash - my favorite record.

"Raise a toast to Saint Joe Strummer, he may have been our only decent teacher..."

Thank you all who have been a part of my fandom, I have massive amounts of love for all of you. Kiss Kiss.

I found Velvet Goldmine a week before my 40th birthday - I turned 50 this past June. I found a group called Prettyboys and somehow, it got dumped in my lap, I moderated the list and maintained the fanfic website. *sigh* good times, man.

Saint Joe, God bless ya, I hope wherever you are, you're happier than we are.

That site was grand central for the fandom. Thank you for the time that you put into it for the rest of us. Good times is right!
