I know nothing about him but watching him on SOA really had me looking at him like he was racist in real life lol

 

[Wig Twistin Season]

He had a breh in his band who gave him his pass and he met and got cool with more brehs as time passed? Also he was a spoken word poet and I’m sure that helped.

Didn't he grow up in Washington and L.A.? Anyways, he's being a real one. Punks, not racist skinhead or Nazi punks, but real punk rockers looked up to The Bad Brains. They were the quintessential Punk Band every other hard-core and punk band wanted to be in or emulate. Being from D.C. he had direct access to them early on. Also on a side note, the band Fugazi were heavily influenced by the GO-GO scene in Washington. The energy and the way the bands had so much command over the crowds was something they wanted to recreate.
