Well put, Bong!!

How often that seems to be the deciding factor of "authentic or not"!

I was once harrassed by a girl who hated me (she didn't even know me) because I wore rockabilly clothes to rockabilly shows and punk clothes to punk shows. She called me "Barbie" behind my back. I was obviously inferior because I didn't wear only ONE style of clothing to thus align myself to only ONE social group.

But Austin wasn't separated into social groups then! It was (then, at least) all about the music! (Note: she later checked into a mental hospital, and much later still, sought me out for forgiveness. But not until after a specTACular catfight between her and my best friend, which occured between the sets by the Droogs and the Butthole Surfers.

Final exchange:
Psycho: (as she is being dragged out of the Ritz by her husband)I'll get you Alice Berry!!!
Me: Who ARE you?!?!
Best Friend: Suck my c*** bitch!!

(Best Friend was asked to join the first band, owing to her kickass fighting skills and that last shout-out.)

(She now is in the Junior League in Houston.)

(sigh)

(I can't in the slightest way bring this back to tiki.)

TIKI: Now, more than ever
