When Rich Stremmes songs were playing, I enjoyed them. I liked the beats and I thought they were great songs. I did not like how he was speaking to us in a zoom call, since not only did it make it difficult to see what he actually looked like, but I think it’s more challenging to listen to someone and for the speaker to catch their audience’s attention through it. I liked the art on the vinyl disks he sent for us to look at, it was like graffiti art with a lot going on and it looked like they had deep meanings. I also think it was nice he gave us some freebies, especially the pins. He talked a lot about zines, which are small pieces of paper that are reproduced and shared to the public to spread a message, and how he used them to spread punk-rock related messages. One story he shared that shocked me was when his friend didn’t allow someone to enter a concert after they traveled there for six hours. He told him that if the guy killed someone then his friend is responsible for it, and later they found out he actually killed someone. Other than that, I would definitely prefer if he talked to our class in person, as I think it would make it a lot more interesting.
