I must have been around 12, maybe 13 years old when I first saw a Psychobilly walking in town and MAN, was that guy intimidating with his huge purple quiff, bleached jeans and tattoos... Even then I realised it took balls to look that outrageous, everybody who ever dressed different then "the perfect people" wore a mohawk, quiff or is is heavily tattooed or pierced knows what I'm talking about... Being laughed at, shouted at, getting "the look" or even got beaten up for "not fitting in"
Well, here's news for all the squares: "You know what's the difference between us and you...? We don't care what you look like..." We love to show a little bit of the madness that's inside all of us on the outside creating our subcultures...
What I always loved about Psychobilly is that it's pure Rock 'n' Roll, just about the music and having fun, no politics, no religion, just beer and wild nights... Once you got bitten by that rock 'n' roll virus it's for life, rock 'n' roll is not just music, it's a state of mind, a way of living, it's a fire burning inside your soul...
My model Pakobakolito is one of those pure rock 'n' roll warriors, still going to every gig in town, still enjoying life to the fullest... A Schorem fan pur sang, look at that tattoo on the side of his head, that's some serious dedication even though Schorem means Scumbag of course... The god of rock 'n' roll, Mr. Lemmy Kilmister said it just right: "If you think you're too old to rock 'n' roll... YOU ARE !!!
