Maybe If I Weren't Such an Asshole, I'd Have a Couple More Friends, But I Don't Really Give a S***..

“Maybe If I Weren’t Such an Asshole I’d Have a Couple More Friends, But I Don’t Really Give a Shit Cuz I Like The Ones I Got” Jesus (1995ish) Written by Mike Holmes and Micah Scott Best song title ever? Made even more hilarious because the guys in Jesus were some of the kindest, most genuine guys in the scene! At least that's my recollection 30 years later. Fronted by the aforementioned Micah Scott and the other progenitor of the Minot Punk Scene, Mike Holmes, and including Ryan Vandal on bass, and Chad Brunsell on drums, Jesus was one of the first and most frequent bands I saw playing at the Minot Collective Cultural Centre (MC3). Micah and Mike built the MC3 from nothing and created a community of punks which continues to flourish thirty years on. The ethos of Jesus and the MC3: straight-edge, vegan, anti-fascist, egalitarian, etc was all the education that a little lost 15-year-old needed. So much love to Micah, Mike, and to Jesus.
