Ian MacKaye to speak at Franklin and Marshall College

Contributed by an Anonymous Source. Posted by aubin on Thursday, February 23, 2006 at 2:45 PM (EST)

Ian MacKaye, founder of Dischord Records and member of the punk acts Fugazi, Minor Threat and The Evens will be speaking at 200 Kaufman Hall on the campus of Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, PA on March 6th, 2006 at 7:00pm.

The pioneering musician has titled the discussion: The Dischord Records Story: A Model of Sustainability - Q and A with Ian MacKaye and the event is free and open to the public.

MacKaye is no stranger to the college speaking circuit, having previously visited schools like Yale University to speak.

Ian continues to support the 2005 release of The Evens, which followed the hiatus of his influential band Fugazi. In related news, as recently reported, Dischord will be releasing ten new live albums in the ongoing Fugazi Live Series.

MacKaye and Rollins should tag-team Bono and Danzig. And they should do it at a University near my house.

the_other_scott (February 23, 2006)

has anyone seen him speak? was it worth it? i've had mixed results in seeing musicians speak. chuck d was awesome. rollins was funny, but not much more than that. and jello was kind of boring and didn't say much.

joeg (February 23, 2006)

never seen him speak but i've heard some interviews and it's usually a good listen.

Someone (February 23, 2006)

jello didnt say much??? when I saw him it was 4 fuckin hours of spoken word

Godfather (February 23, 2006)

i cant stand jello's speaking voice

the_other_scott (February 23, 2006)

he said a lot, he just didn't say very much. ya heard?

the_other_scott (February 23, 2006)

fuck. i fucked up the italics. anyone know how to make italics go away after one word? um and yeah. i meant to say that he talked forever, he just didn't say anything too insightful or interesting. he talked a bunch of shit about the other DK members though.

Godfather (February 23, 2006)

anyone know how to make italics go away after one word? yeah, just do < i >this< /i > without the spaces

Someone (February 23, 2006)

Does he even have a DEGREE? If not, he's a poser and has no place in an academic setting. Fugazi is too mainstream to be intelligent anyway. -Will

fugazi is too mainstream to be intelligent? what does that even mean?

I'm Will, don't question me. Poser. -Will

joeg (February 23, 2006)

wuh? huh? i think will has finally gone off the deep end. unless this is a will imposter..

Someone (February 23, 2006)

I impose my will over everyone! -Will

Someone (February 23, 2006)

Will you stop that?! Poser. -Will

Godfather (February 23, 2006)

i always thought it was "poseur"

Godfather (February 23, 2006)

i'd go see bill gates give a presentation

Someone (February 23, 2006)

people who dont have degree's have no place in an academic setting??? elaborate please. I think it would be humorous to hear why, an obvious scholar such as yourself, would say that

Someone (February 23, 2006)

I like bands that most people with degrees have never even heard of. -WIll

Someone (February 23, 2006)

And I really don't care how bad they are, so long as no one here knows about them. -Will

Does anyone know if any of these are being recorded? Are they floating around anywhere. I'd love to hear one of his talks but living in the midwest kind of makes it impossible.
