Cincinnati Punk Rock Legend Seeks Bandmates For New Acoustic Protest Band—Find A Use For Your Talents In The Big Political Year Ahead
This is from my longtime friend Robert “Jughead” Sturdevant of Cincinnati, Ohio—
“I am looking to form an acoustic guitar-based jam band where all members sing left wing protest /labor/progressive songs in the alternative scene/occupy protests/coffee shops/and places they won’t let my hardcore band play. I have an excellent practice space and I want to get out and play on the weekends.”
Jughead is a king of the Cincinnati punk rock. Above you see Robert front and center performing at Newport, Kentucky’s legendary Jockey Club at some point in the 1980’s. The odds are decent that I was at the show in the picture.
Robert’s band is SS-20. They are mainstays of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky music scene.
Robert also does spoken word performances in Cincinnati, and has written for Cincinnati’s great local publishing house Aurore Press.
If you’re interested in joining the band Jughead is looking to form in Cincinnati, please leave a comment at the blog. I’ll make sure he gets in touch with you.
There is always something that you can take part in to help bring about a better and more hopeful world.
If you’re not looking to join a band in Cincinnati, then please consider some way you can be part of the action in the big political year of 2012.
This blog will in 2012 be focusing on ways that everyday people can make the best use of their talents, and about how everyday people can assume responsibility for their futures in our democracy.
The work of democracy and freedom is up to each of us.

Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
I can be reached at naa618@att.net.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
( The picture above is of the Houston Ship Channel. A narrow channel can lead to a wide sea.)
The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.
Texas Liberal began regular posting on July 25, 2006.
I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.
Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.

KTRU used to play some Cincinatti punk back when I was in high school. Houston punk was really good around that time as well, though I was a little young to have caught things at their peak. Some of the Houston punk bands from that era are still around. The Hates are actually playing at Fitzgerald’s in a couple of weeks. I think Really Red still performs on occasion too. Might wanna relive your youth and go see them. Saw the Hates five years ago. They were very good.
The only reason I had heard of SS-20 is because I was already familiar with the missile. I saw this exhibit when they put it up at the Air and Space museum.

Bacopa–I went to a show once here in Houston, and it just was not the same without my longtime friends. I guess that is nostalgia in action.
