AN OBJECTIVE LOOK AT MILTON, MA'S CONTRIBUTION

Growing up in North Quincy, hating Milton kids was as important as hating the Yankees and Lakers. Without mentioning names, The singer of In My Eyes was telling me how mean spirited Quincy kids would wait behind the drive-thru menu at burger king near the Milton line and swarm the car once they finished ordering their whoppers. Stereotypical Milton kids are by definition "gayer than homosexuality", but lets take a step back and recognize that there is always an exception or two to the rule. Here are some arguments that I can offer to debate.



(b&w photo: Milton-ish band Crossface Welcome's the Destroyer, the creature of hate)


-Milton's only "Subway" station is in the Middle of Mattapan and Ashmont. Kids that commuted via the "Hi-Speed Trolley" had to grow up quick.
-Quincy borders the Neponset River, Milton borders top of the line progressive neighborhoods (on opposite day)


...If you're a fan of hardcore/punk like the other 78% of the people that read this, Milton has some history you might be interested in. Milton legends:





Jon Regan, on the left(also featured on electric guitar above), featured with Crossface fans Mike from TX and "Someone else." While he may be spending most of his social life at TX Mike style nights (these are really fun and the girls are hot), he is most well known for providing shows like this:
and comps like this:




ANDREW JACKMAUH - bass, later vocals for DaysXAhead. DXA morphed in the first line up of Bones Brigade where Andrew got really used to the "Vox". He got so good at vocals that he decided he needed another medium to get them out there to peopleople. Enter Cut The Shit. CTS was responsible for the great American anthem "The Party's over"
the best frontmen in the history of the world.....

So good in fact that I found myself stage diving to CTS in Dungaree shorts:












Andrew currently is in new bands.




Frankie from Death Before Dishonor/Trust in Few
Frankie is a living example of living near the Mattapan line in Milton. Without commuting on those innocent looking, yet violent trolleys, there is no way he could have been ready to play the bass. In my opinion, Frankie is the exact opposite of a Mattapan Trolley. Intimidating looking character, but as friendly and loyal as golden retriever. One thing i'll say, he's supperior to a mattapan trolley because, instead of going to Mattapan, he goes everywhere else in the world.

so i present you, in no specific order, the big three of Milton. Each person relates to each other as good as a jerk and good person, but still all hold their place in history. I still think Quincy is unbelievably superior to Milton, but you have to give credit where its due.
