Ever since I first heard Crass I try to incorporate them into anything I write, even if it’s just a name drop. I’m serious about this; just do a search on the internet, and you’ll find that I even incorporated their name in a piece I wrote involving Katy Perry. They’re that great.

When I actually spoke to him, Penny sounded like a calm, friendly, articulate, and very forward thinking individual, which made learning of the impending doom facing Dial House (the farm/commune the band lived in, and where Penny still lives) and the Crass catalog a little harder to deal with. What follows is the transcript of the chat I had with Penny last Sunday.

The challenge, according to the band was:
Pretending like you don’t give a s— about you’re wearing, even though you know Johnny Ramone obsessed over their image.
