Perhaps we need that attitude and defiance now more than ever . In every subsequent generation there are those who get it and carry it on . Those who understand that , as The Standells said , “ Sometimes Good Guys Don ’ t Wear White ”. Those of us who did make it our way of life are more than happy to share our attitude and defiance with you . We just keep making music and the music is still inspiring us and our friends . Recently I sent two compilation CDs , one garage music and one surf music , released by a really cool indie label , Bongo Boy Records run by Gar Francis and Monique Grimme , to a DJ friend of mine , Jim McCabe , in my hometown of Hudson , NY . Jim had decided to do his last show but I thought he ’ d really like the CDs . After listening to the Bongo Boy Records compilations Jim was inspired to keep his radio show , The Tiki Bar on WGXC , on the air . Tune in sometime and take a listen . Check out Bill Kelly ’ s Teenage Wasteland on WFMU and Mike Murray ’ s , The Whole Lotta Shakin Show for some of the best of garage music to be found . As Mark Lindsay told us in the Raiders ’ version of “ Louie , Louie ”, “ stomp , shout and work it on out ”. We ’ ll all feel better for it .
