Mommy...Mommy!! Quit touching me there!! Quit..it hurts! Whaaa!!! Mommy...please stop!!! *cries more* Fuck mom you got problems, I can hear your kids all the way from where ever the fuck you are...and damn you're telling us to go to bed...just so we can spell correctly? who cares, at least you know what the fuck we're trying to say, who gives a fuck about a few typoes. Apparently you do, you Anti-War Anarchist, Pile of pig vomit. BlowJob should go back to where ever the hell they came from. Quit you're fuckin whining, it's not like they are going to listen to you and your ludicrous ideas anyways.

Time for bed children! You have school tomorrow. It's very important you learn how to spell.

Hey you guys...did you see that one babe on C-Span during BlowJobs crap ass performance? Damn she was fine man... I would've boned the mess out of her. I saw a hippie dancing too. He was funny. and Carlos, I'm sorry man, but my God, you suck at singing. Oh and just thinking about your and your lame ass band, has made me crap 4 times, and that last time was really disgusting. And you know what stinks and puts people to sleep? Your band. Change your name to Diarrhea Mouth and do parodies of other bands, wouldn't hurt your rep, you've made a fool out of yourself already. ....oh shit I gotta go crap again. write more later.

WOW, I never thought I'd ever be saying this but you guys suck more dick then George Michael in a public bathroom! Maybe you should quit this gig and play back up for Boy George, thats where you belong. This way you can suck as hard and as long as you have been.

did it ever occur to you guys to BLOW the BACK of your brains out of your heads.

You guys are like fucking gods man...when i listen to you....i just wanna masterbate. HAHA!!!!! YEAH RIGHT, YOU FUCKIG SUCK...YOU WORSE THAN FUCKING S CLUB 7. I agree with that rio santos de whatchamufuckit loser...when i saw you on tv...i just wanted to crap. When i think of you...i think of diarreah and tapioca pudding...mixed together. Let me tell you something...that does not make me wanna masterbate. I mean...ive let my dog give me head when i rubbed some jiffy all over my crotch..but thats different. love always, nigger boy...aka, niglet

Damn...I just can't get over how much you guys suck. That crowd was soooo dead man...they were looking at you and your band like "What the fuck is he saying?" Talk about dead music man. I'll post later, I still have a ton more to write on how much you suck.

Wow I'd just like to say that your music makes me want to crap...You guys suck. I heard you play...you were on cnn or something...thought you looked like Staind for a second..but oh well. anyways your music sux, your views suck, and your "fuck war" theories are misleading you. but yea, anyways, keep sucking, maybe you'll get as popular as Clinton. later

Didn't your Mother teach you that if you don't have something nice to say then don't say anything at all? Different strokes for different folks. What makes you ASSume that we are hitting the bong? I am a professional publisher/photographer and mother of three, I don't need mind altering substances to know that I don't want my childrens lives and their planet destroyed by war hungry revengence. It is closed minded, non-artistic mongruls like yourself that are wasting time insulting and passing judgement on others that is giving America a bad rep. Can't you find something positive, loving and constructive to do with your time? If you didn't like BLOWBACK than you should have turned your T.V. off and why waste your time going to their site and nosing through their mail - you must have enjoyed something about it to have spent so much of your time on the subject. We loved their performance and look forward to sharing their views with our 3,500 readers. Thanks for your comments. Peace be to you, Charlotte & SMASH Staff From: "Terry McAuliffe" To: Charlotte/SMASH MagazineSubject: Blowback Chat Message Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2002 09:13:05 -0700 You guys are not very nice. Why are you teasing the fellas from Blowback like that?? You know they sucked last weekend. Pull your mug away from the bong and breathe some clean air for a couple of minutes…

WOW!! WHAT ORIGINALITY!!!

I saw your performance on C-Span at the rally in washington, and man oh man do you guys suck.

Dear "Censorship Victim",In case you didn't read it, below is the policy of BLOWBACK and this website. If it was you who wrote the racist messages please be informed that these types of messages will continue to be censored. If this is considered "not playing fair" in your book, please call us cheaters.We've deleted a few messages that were specifically referencing hateful or racist language. However, we hope the general flow of conversation will continue. We encourage any conversation about or critique of the band and our messages, but we will not tolerate hate speech of any kind. Thanks and keep the ball rolling. - Blowback

Thank you Charlotte and SMASH! All our lyrics can be found here on this site. You'll note some of the words are hypertext. They're links onto short blurbs on some of the concepts behind the words, or even the song. In some cases, these go onto longer essays. 3907 and SMF, I believe, have such links. And some link onto declassified US Government documents. The camera shots were pretty funny - I finally saw what we looked like this morning. Not sure why the camera would choose the parts of the audience not moving, cause some of the audience was really into it. Thanks again!

email: reachsmash@hotmail.com

BLOWBACK, we caught your performance on C-SPAN and must say Thank You, Thank You for standing up and speaking out for what you believe in, for being passionate and artistic with your views. Some say they could not understand your lyrics ...maybe it had something to with the sound system ... we at SMASH had NO problem understanding your lyrics. We did have a problem however understanding the audiences lack of response to 1-2-3-4... what was up with that? The camera pans out across a crowd of people that appear to be brain dead, emotionless, meanwhile we are singing and clapping as loud as we can to the T.V. WE THOUGHT YOU ROCKED!!!! We would like to do a review of your performance and share some of your lyrics with the world in our monthly zine. May we do that? Sincerly, Charlotte & the SMASH Staff (Spreading Music, Arts, Services & Happpenings)

Hola Lilo,Bueno que te gusto. Si, se puede comprar el CD a traves de esta pagina. Nos encantaria hacer un show en Chile pero no vemos eso en el corto plazo. Gracias por tu nota!For others, a quick translation: Lilo from Chile writes that he saw us on some kind of demonstration and liked what we had to say. (My guess is that he saw us on either Univision or Televisa network who covered the Farragut Square show on Friday). Also wants to know how to get our CD. If you'd like our CD, click on "CD" and it'll take you to a page where the ordering is simple.

puedo comprar el cd y que me lo manden pa chile?

guena carlos, vengan pa chile, los vi por la tele en una huea en contra de la guerra o algo asi, y estan pulentos, haganse un recital aca en chile po socio, buena suerte chao. Traducele a los otros locos que no cachan nada.

Glad to see all the messages! Very glad to hear from you Bob!!! Glad you have all thought about what we have to say and what we do, even if you do reach opposite conclusions. Keep checking the website and don't forget to read the mini-essays linked to the lyrics. Do try to prove us wrong. Even you, Craig. We'll all learn if and when you do. It'll help if your argument is coherent as opposed to "you commie pig shits, move to Iraq and eat some worms with the goats." There's not much to argue with there.A big thanks to Wade and the Anti-Capitalist Convergence for helping us with the shows on Friday and Saturday and also to the Mobilization for Global Justice, for having us reach all of YOU via C-SPAN. Glad YOU WATCH C-SPAN. Big thanks to Matt, David, Greg, and Marcus for sound.Be sure to get the next issue of Punk Planet. Will feature an interview with us and then we can try to have some more debate. Again, there's not much to debate when it's something about taste like "your singing sucks." I might even agree with that (as might one or two or three of the bandmates), but there's no accounting for taste.So use your free speech but don't take it for granted. And no, bombing Iraq will not do a rat's ass for free speech.

You guys don’t play fair...You could have waited for some replies. Oh yea, you guys really sucked yesterday!!!

Sorry Missy,I'm not a member of the band nor did I catch the c-span thing,so I don't know what happened.The last punk show I went to see was the Damned play in Arizona 1998(which was akin to seeing God),so I'm a little out of touch with today's punk scene.I would agree that if they did it ala eighties,they need to update the music but if I was in the band I sure wouldn't want to sound like NOFX/Blink182 etc.I personally would try more of an alternative sound,but then again,I'm not a member of the band,just an ex-member of one of the bands that some members of Blowback was in at one time.

My sons,You really sucked today. Missy has you pegged. If you could take your pie hole off the bong for 5 minutes you could see she is completely right. C-Span was your 15 minutes to get your message out to people who would have otherwise never heard you. Of course… You don’t want to be known as sell outs to the establishment. I always forget that about you liberal fools. For your information, Capitalism is the government of the free. Communism and Socialism are the governments of tyranny. WAKE UP

Just Kidding.... YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your performance was refreshing -- the fact that you upset so many people really speaks to the Power of your Art. Change is Good!

if my lyrics sucked as bad as yours did i would most definatly scream that shit too. Im sorry but you guys need to bow down to conformity and understand the republican conservative is her to stay and that liberals are just bitching about nothing. the people in the crowd on c span are everything that is wrong with this great nation.

If you were really environmentally friendly you'd kill yourselves since you are without talent or sense.Tell the drummer to get a bra-he's a fat shit. Tell the band to get a job. Based upon what I heard on Cspan all should be qualified to work at MacDonalds(serve salads if the meat bothers you). You suck. You epitomize what is wrong with America.

I just saw you guys on C-SPAN and let me tell you YOU GUYS SUCK!

Nobody understands you, you and the nerds in the crowd are only making fools of yourself all over c-span. If you guys are so upset with america move to freakin mexico and go sing with some goats or something, maybe they will understand. People are fighting for your freedom and you and those hippies don't even appreciate it, so i say shut up and move away.

FUCK WAR HELL YA BEEOTCH

Oh yeah...and Blowback...if you'd ever want to write me. Go ahead...I'd love to hear you prove me wrong. Or anyone that has something to say. I'm all up for your opinions. My email address is already posted. Thanks.

ALRIGHT BOB...first of all...if you want to get onstage...in front of America, why would you stand up in front of a huge crowd, and all of those watching and make it so NO ONE CAN UNDERSTAND? Sorry that you're not bright enough to get this understanding. Sure, that was "old punk" but that's not my point at all. This band was trying to get a message across America. If you don't understand what they're saying, how would they ever get the message? UNDERSTAND NOW?? Or...would you like me to explain the rest of the things I said. I'm only 15. I'm sure you can do it on your own! :) Also, old punk bands...didn't make fools of themselfs. Don't worry...I didn't listen long. I only listened 'til I proved myself that I was right about this band.

I'm sorry,I've seen them as late as 1993,but haven't seen them since.Just to clarify.

"in closing 1234 your a rip offs of GWAR"Actually,that song (1234) was written in 1987.I never even heard of GWAR until 1988,when I saw them play Garden City New Jersey.Although I haven't seen Carlos or John since the Colombian Neckties re-union of 1990,I'm pretty sure Blowback doesn't come on stage with fake phallics and monster costumes,and sing abount coming from an ice planet or whatever their bag is now.That comment about being a RIPOFF of GWAR is unfounded.

We've deleted a few messages that were specifically referencing hateful or racist language. However, we hope the general flow of conversation will continue. We encourage any conversation about or critique of the band and our messages, but we will not tolerate hate speech of any kind. Thanks and keep the ball rolling. - Blowback

"Okay...why would you have your songs give a message to prove something to people...and then make it so NO ONE can understand what the hell you're saying?"That's how punk rock used to be.During the eighties,99% of the punk rock bands played fast and screamed the lyrics.That's the backgroud of Blowback.They're a bunch of guys with punk roots from the eighties,and that's what they like to play.If you don't like it,that's fine.Don't listen to it.Go check out MDC,ADRENALINE OD,DOA,Avengers just to name a few (of literally trillions) of examples of eighties period punk for a example.Hey,if we didn't pass on the scene to your generation by doing what we did,you may very well be stuck listening to CC and the Music Factory type of music today.

Has anyone been able to find contact info or e-mail address(s) on the "Globalizethis.org" web page?? I don't think they want any "feed back" from the masses regarding their anti-American rally in DC. "The people united will never be defeated" is a saying that works both ways...

Right on Missy

Okay...why would you have your songs give a message to prove something to people...and then make it so NO ONE can understand what the hell you're saying? That would be a good example of the word stupid. You're saying you want peace, no war...then why the hell are you yelling out your lungs on TV? Yelling shows anger...and anger leads to war. Good job! You're trying to go aganist what it makes it look you're trying to make happen. So, you want us to let these people go about their way...make their weapons...and then kill us? Your mother, your family? You'll just let them do that? Well...I definatley won't. Sure, war is wrong...but we're trying to keep our own Americans safe and keep the kids safe of their own country that they don't take care of themselfs. If you want to think America is a bad place...then get the hell out. You obviously look at the imperfections instead of the perfections. Instead of looking at how we're creating violence...look at how after Afganistan is aganist us...although, we're the ones feeding them now. Think about it. You obviously have no respect for America. And...if you do fuckin' show it. Now-this is for the person of message number 40. I have the same thoughts on this war stuff as you. Although, you've got no right sayin' crap about hippies and such. I myself am pretty much a hippe...and I'm sorry if we don't go under the category of "normal" but don't be saying that the only people that are with this are hippies because I'm not...and all of the "normal" people are just straight up right about everything. That's just being stereotypical. <<>>Some people complain because God put thorns on roses, while other people praise him for PUTTING roses AMONG thorns. Think about it. Feel free to E-mail me at Punkifyied@aol.com

Thank God we live in the United States of America. You guys are really bad… It is good to see that in a free country, people with similar ideas and beliefs can gather together an exercise their first amendment rights. I can’t think of a better way to keep tabs on the America haters among us than these rallies and on the web pages they “advertise” on. Life is a tragedy for those who feel and a comedy for those who think…

Perhaps I should have spent more time spell checking, but while I am doing this maybe those of you who are open minded can pick up a history book and understand as you clean your bongs, that war has solved more conflicts than any other form of negotiation. Perhaps then you will understand that it is a must that we protect are lands and our basic freedoms by eliminating those who opose it. Thank you for your feed back, Ill be here at a major university working hard to earn my degree in Political Science and Governmental studies so that maybe one day, I will help run this country with those like me, and the "open minded people" can sit there and have pot smoking, hacky sacking, dirty assed hippie conventions in our nations capital because we, those unafraid to die for this nation, have provided that right for you.

Calvin you can't spell very well. Go back to college!!!

blowback sucks. badly. i like his 2 dollar T-shirt the singer bought from the vender in Iraq. And what the hell is up with all those hippies in the croud? funny i dident see one normal person in the audience...well anyways i say we all throw them in a bag and ship them to Iraq then they can sing there music (well not music) there scream there

Deleted by topic administrator 09-28-2002 09:09 PM

hahahah yeah calvin

Gentlemen, i must say that i am open minded to many things all though i consider myself a conservative i truly believe in majority rule with minority rights but what you guys are bitching about is ludicrous. do yourselves a favor quit complaining and take the seventy five bucks you made selling your crappy cds and learn how to play your instruments. i respect bands because being a musician is not something everyone can do but just play your shitty music and leave polotics to the politicians. there a hell of alot smarter than you from what i have seen today on cnn.by the way i was at college on september 11th 2001 and i lived the horror the way many americans did. maybe if you didnt live in trailers without electricity you would no what is going on in our world and give up your damn tree fucking hippie ways. in closing 1234 your a rip offs of GWAR 5678 your pregnancy should have been terminate.

Blowback,How can you protest freedom? I hope you relize that if the U.S.A. does not fight for our freedom you would not even have the ability to rally together and protest. In most countries you would have been arrested and possibly executed in public. It is a shame that there is millians of Americans that put their life on the line so people like you can sleep in your bed at night without worry of any harm coming to you or your family.

are you guys supposed to be hardcore?... www.hxc.com www.asilaydying.net www.beautytoashes.com www.poisonthewell.com these guys do it right

Deleted by topic administrator 09-28-2002 09:09 PM

OH yeah. And you suck.

Maybe, you should go play a show in Iraq. That way, when we turn them into a parking lot, we'll kill two birds with one stone. Just a thought.

They are just at wash d.c to promote their shitty band, they dont give a shit about the war. HAVE WAR! kill the bastards over in the middle east!!

i'm watching you guys on TV right now...i think i'll watch something else thanks...have a nice day

yeah blowback sucks they have no life and dont know what the hell there talking about. they must die. in a war. they must die

hopefully blowback is in the next major plane crash

Oh yeah,my new cousin in law just happened to have been president of his own record company,so I played him off the internet the Blowback version of "Consumer Society".He was pretty impressed!Turns out he was a big fan of Black Flag,SOD,Dead Kennedys back in his not so younger days.I'm gonna let him borrow the Blowback and the Neckties cds next time I see him (which is rarely).But one of these days.Hey!Remember that time we got smashed on those two bottles of mint schnapps? And the very next day we listened to MDC,while you were trying to clean the apt (after all those people showed up,even though we had no clue 'cause we were gone).Everytime I listen to Blowback,it reminds me of MDC which in turn reminds me of that moment when we were really hungover.Stay away from grouper fish!

Hey Carlos,John,and the rest of the band.It's me ex-Colombian Necktie Bob (heh heh).What's up?Sorry I haven't been in touch lately.I just moved from Arizona back to the east coast.I'm living down in North Port Florida now...just a hop,skip,and a bus ride away from DC.When you get a chance,drop me a line!

Peaceful or otherwise, and past events indicate that not everyone who shows up is dedicated to peaceful protest, we regrettably live in a time where a security presence of some sort is required.A DC Green Party member quoted in the Post last week (sorry I don't have the direct reference) said that shutting down the city on Friday was a small price to be paid to make a point to the most powerful city on the planet. Well, just who's going to be most affected by this? Certainly not the elite, who can stay home and telecommute.The people who will be most affected are minority working folks who won't be able to get to work, who scrape by to provide for their kids, etc. Aren't these the very people whom these protesters claim to represent, both here and abroad? Shutting down the city may make a point to the "elites," but will alienate those whom the protesters claim to be representing. If the goal really is to create a mass movement, this is not the way to win friends and influence people.Or do the ends justify the means?

True Craig.Why should DC taxpayers get screwed over for the "security" expenses to protect the World Bank/IMF corporate elite from peaceful protesters?If I lived in DC, this is the exact type of question I would pose to Congress, the Mayor and Cheif of Police.

Will there be any place at the IMF/World Bank events for those of us who don't think either side really has a clue about how to achieve its goals, even if one is more well-meaning than the other?And if you're going to encourage folks to talk to Members of Congress about this, could you also ask them to tell Congress to fully reimburse the DC government for the security expenses? Why should DC taxpayers get screwed over for this?

For those of you on the east coast -- Blowback will be playing Sept 27 & 28 in Washington DC, during the World Bank/IMF meetings. More details to come, but it will be a Positive Force event and very cool things will be afoot. Hope to see ya there.
