Ron Reyes
was my favorite
Black Flag
singer. He walked away from Black Flag at a show at the
Fleetwood in Redondo Beach in 1980,
disgusted by the ever-increasing dumb violence of the crowds.
I consider this event to be punk rock's
Altamont,
and I think Reyes was completely right to leave when he did.
