Good News: Black Flag gets to play
Bad News: They have to do a disco set so the police can dance
We would go out on our flyer-pasting missions in Robo’s
little white Ford Cortina. We’d have the bucket with the paste, we’d have a few
hundred flyers, and after all the flyers were posted, like three of four hours,
we’d go home to sleep ... To me my work was the equivalent of a band like Black
Flag or any other band who was righteously self protective of recordings. I
would give them original art and it would come back to me scrawled upon and taped
over or whited out, and I’d always ask nicely, ‘Could you please make a copy of
this first and then do that?’ Their master tapes were deemed sacrosanct, while
my work was seen as completely disposable.

Awesome!! Thanks for sharing this. More Pettibon in my life is always great.
