Regarding the whole not-cool-to-like-Rancid thing, my friend Robin (who I’m actually going to see Rancid with tomorrow) had almost the opposite experience when he was a kid, because he was from middle of nowhere Maryland so Rancid was as punk rock to him at that time as, say, Crass was to you and I.
