RUBBERNECK If anyone in Austin tries to tell you that you missed on the real Austin 10 or 20 or 25 years ago, shove that geezer face into this or the last issue of Rubberneck. This beautiful collection of vivid images dripping with sweat & beer tell the story of our city’s latter-day rock gods. Serving our community at places like Trailer Space & Beerland, they are why when I tell folks around the world I’m from Austin they go “ Oh man, I love Austin” or “I’ve heard that’s the coolest town” with a sigh of fondness. I smile and say “ yea”. Sure it was good back then. The Buttholes, Glass Eye, Squat Thrust, Pocket FishRmen were great. There were fewer rich assholes in SUVs, no traffic to speak of and it wasn’t quite as hot. There’s just more of everything now, so you have to know where to look. Our town is alive. Step off Brooklyn, you wish. Renate Winter & Jon Chamberlain have their lenses fixed on the writhing bodies of these our brilliant & creative citizens. Thor Harris Earth since 1965 Austin since 1985
