Jesse Michaels

Punknews reported that Jesse Michaels would be doing some solo shows in LA in August, which led to me finding this blog post that he had written about it.

I've always really admired Jesse, not just for being in Operation Ivy, but also for being so dang modest about it! This guy was the principle force behind the single best punk album, in my opinion, and he's still awkward and nervous about playing his own music. This is in contrast to so many great musicians who start to believe their own hype and pump out a bunch of garbage, ruining their own legacy in the process.
