I suppose I should be flattered (or so I've been told by the person who pointed this out to me), but it seems the forthcoming Philly's Not Dead punk documentary has been supping at the fountain of my words regarding what the L!F!P! project is in theory and presentation. Just read the description below, which appears on their Facebook page. It's like much of what I've said about this project, though barfed up like the dog's breakfast, poorly written, and with some embarrassing grammar and syntax errors. I harbor no ill-will towards their project and I wish them the best with it, but some of the wording makes me cringe.
Here is what they wrote, directly from their Facebook page:
"It's time for Philly's Punx to have their story told.
Phill'y's Not Dead aims to capture the culturally mosaic world of the Philadelphia Punk scene. From the start of it all in the 70's to the continuation of it all today. Philly was, and continues to be an epicenter for punk rock. WIth "Philly's Not Dead", the crew is setting out to cinematically capture the stories from those who lived it and who are still living it all today. Stepping aside from the standard documentary candid style and incorporating a much more artistic style to showcase the scene. In the essence of the scene which marches on with the DIY attitude it was born out of, the documentary is taking on that same mentality to go from conceptual idea to screen. Fully self funded. Fully self promoted. DIY from start to finish. This documentary doesn't aim to turn a profit, but rather to get it in front of as many people as possible to show everyone all that is Philly Punk as told by band members, club owners, show promoters, show goers, old punx and new punx.
A story that spans over 30 years all the way to today, making the bold statement that Philly is still here. Philly's Not Dead! Coming soon."
