The Day My Kid Went Punk (1987)

First shown in October 1987, this ABC Afterschool Special stars Bernie Kopell (Doc from The Love Boat) and Christine Belford (also known for playing a Mom in the movie Christine and on Beverly Hills 90210) as the puzzled parents of a teen who goes "punk" in a way that only the folks behind ABC's Afterschool Specials would imagine. 

Unintentional yucks abound.

Butthole Surfers - 1987 - Atlanta

15 May 1987 

Rollick (formerly the 688 Club), Atlanta 

Videographer - Barry Mills

I was lucky enough to witness the Locust Abortion Technician tour when the Butthole Surfers played Chicago about a month before the show featured below. 

Over the years I have attended a lot of live shows but that one remains my all time favorite. The combination of incredible music plus the over the top visuals; such as the fog machine pushed into the red line, the heavily odd movies projected either behind the band or onto banks of fog, and the painted naked dancer with glued on facial hair, created an alchemy the likes of which was a true mind-scrambler.

Big Black - CBGB - 1987

The three piece (plus drum machine Roland) Big Black created some amazing noise skronk during their tenure from 1981 to 1987. Even though my time living in the Chicago area overlapped with their existence, I never got to see them live mainly because I was under twenty-one and never obtained a fake i.d. Here is some footage from 1987 when they played CBGBs on their final tour in support of their Songs About Fucking record.
