The song is a reminiscence about growing up in the Fullerton punk scene. The intersection of Harbor Boulevard and Commonwealth Avenue is the epicenter of all that. It was home to the first bars we snuck into and the pawn shops where we bought our first guitars. We have fond memories of seeing The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Suburbia, The Decline of Western Civilization, and the Clash’s Rude Boy at the local Wilshire and Fox theaters. But the area has a dark side as well. The homeless situation is out of control. And local residents are still shaken by Kelly Thomas’ beating death by the police. Myself, and other members of the Lonely Streets have taken part in local protests related to his killing. (Greg Antista)
