After the Madison show, I remember Rollins going to the sound board, throwing on the Go Go music and cranking it up. I have no memory of them playing ZZ Top before the show, but I think I may have missed the very beginning.

Later period BF definitely brought the Black Sabbath influence back into the indy/punk scene. A big influence on Grunge I imagine. Ginn has to be one of the most influential people in the history of American rock music since 1975. And Black Flag is kind of the Lewis and Clark of the modern American indy rock touring scene. They bushwhacked the entire path and many bands still use today.

Sadly, I think this aphorism also holds true: Pioneers get slaughtered. Settlers prosper.

A lot of settlers prospered on the back of Black Flag's pioneering efforts, while they kind of ran their thing into the ground and never got a financial windfall commensurate with their accomplishments and importance.
