The song is Coup D’état. The CJs played a full set, followed by a Q&A with Keith Morris, Zander Schloss, Jim Ruland, and Alex Cox. Then, they screened Repo Man.

This was at the Texas Theatre, where they had found and arrested Lee Harvey Oswald for the assassination of JFK. It’s almost 100 years old.

We were all sitting in our chairs at first. I commented to the guy next to me that it’ll feel really weird to be sitting down while a hardcore band is on stage. Once the band started, a guy ran up to the front like he belonged there, and then other people followed, and it turned into a full-on pit. Everyone went back to their seats when the Q&A started.

Zander plays “Kevin The Nerd” in the movie (that’s how he met the CJs). Oh, and Alex Cox, the director, sang the first song of the set.

Beer was $7. There were 3-4 generations of people there. It was a fun, cool time. Except when a guy managed to stage dive and landed on someone in a wheelchair. The band stopped performing until everything was sorted. I don’t know if the person in the wheelchair left or if they just got him away from the pit. I really hope they’re okay. I never saw the stage diver again. He probably bailed.

So, that’s how I saw Repo Man for the first time. Shout out to the guy that started the pit. That was one of the coolest things I’ve seen at a show. No stage diving in movie theaters.

Go see the Jerks while you can. Keith will be 71 this year. One of the tour shirts has a skanking Godzilla on it.

Thanks for reading.

Uhh... Kong?
