Punk Show, a Brian Looney chapbook
Arrested by the Gap

Brian Looney

    The music has a desperation in it; the lyrics are biting and angry. It’s common sense enraged. I’ve always admired that righteous sound.

    Frustration twinges our brains—a victim’s justified anger. The music arms us with order, with a wounded dignity. Apathy flees like the coward it is.

    There is an energetic frustration, a tremulous sense of despair, a poignant judgment, and a stark dissatisfaction. I feel terribly inconsequential, and I channel that horror outwardly.

    I muster myself up and then deflate again. I run into distractions, into half-pleasures which pacify and disable. My rebellion disperses until the next band’s music, arrested by the gap.
