Odd Robot Digs Green Day and More: Andrew Burris of SoCal power-pop-punk band Odd Robot told us about his Green Day/Rancid/Bad Religion experience.Andrew Burris: The early-to-mid 1990s was peak Bad Religion. As one of my favorite bands, they could do no wrong. In 1993, I was handed a show flyer during a hot and sticky outdoor summer show. Bad Religion was going to headline the Hollywood Palladium, along with the newly minted Rancid, and a band called Green Day. I had just picked up Rancid’s debut record, as rumors about Lint from Op Ivy’s new band had been swirling. I turned to my friend and asked “dude, what is a Green Day? Kind of dumb, yeah? You think they’re like, stoner hippie punks?”I was 17 and had just earned my driver license. Somehow, I convinced my mom to let me drive to L.A. for a show. “What kind of show, a movie?” Yeah, sure. A couple of friends piled into my hand-me-down 1984 Dodge Caravan—metallic gold paint with fake 2-tone woodgrain paneling down the sides. Hell ye...

Experienced autobahn drivers explain why it works: Roadshow

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 07:48:19 GMT

Q: I’m responding to Joe Rudnicki’s question about the autobahn. I lived in Germany for five years and drove on their very fine autobahns. There is no speed limit in some areas between cities, though there are limits in or near cities. You would think this results in vast carnage, but it doesn’t. Fatality rates are similar to the U.S., although their speed is much higher. The autobahn works for three main reasons:It is forbidden to pass someone on the right.The most serious infraction is tailgating. The fine can be extreme because it can be based on your income. $30,000 fines are not unheard of.If you are driving in the No. 1 lane and a guy who wants to go faster comes up behind you, he will not tailgate. He will flash his lights. You must move over to let him pass. There is a big fine for not moving over.German pavement is twice as deep as on American freeways. Roads are maintained much better. You will not hit a huge pothole at 120 mph because there are no huge p...
