Poorman’s 15 Minutes of Fame: Vex Billingsgate (Suburban Lawns) & George Hurley (The Minutemen), of the band Suburban John
from Poorman's 15 Minutes of Fame · host Chelsea Shells
“And then, you know, a lot of the stuff that we grew up on at that time is a lot of the spandex, pretty hairdo type things, and we always thought you had to be someone special to put out a record or something. You know? So here punk rock started, so we'd do it ourselves. We'll make our own records, and that's exactly what we did. You know? And we built our own followings and everything. We even blazed our own tour routes across the whole United States that we used for, like, eighteen years, and we just did everything ourselves.” —Vex Billingsgate & George Hurley (Suburban John), Poorman's 15 Minutes of Fame interview
