Ask A Punk Advice Blog Launched By American Punk Comedian And Writer Tom O'Connor

    /24-7PressRelease/ - LOS ANGELES, CA, June 29, 2008 - American punk comedian and writer Tom O'Connor has launched his Ask A Punk advice blog on the Internet "to address the questions of Generations X, Y and beyond, about everything from life and relationships to all things punk because sometimes you can't 'DIY' (do it yourself)," enthuses the blog's founder.

"I think there are more than enough naval-gazing online diaries, record review blogs, and hipster newsletters out there. I don't see the need to create yet another one, so I decided to take on the "advice" angle. These are serious times and there are bigger questions than 'what is or isn't punk?' I wanted to create something with a Punk Rock sensibility that addresses these concerns. No topic is off-limits. My wilder years might be behind me, but I believe I bring a strong and reasoned opinion on most issues...and when I can't, well, that's what research is for," continues O'Connor.

O'Connor is currently posting at least once a week, and is "surprised by the volume and depth of really good questions that are already coming in. Because this is an online blog, I don't have to worry about space limitations. This gives people plenty of room to lay out their questions, as well as their circumstances, which obviously helps me formulate a better answer for them."

O'Connor lives in southern California. He grew up in the sleepy hinterlands of Western Massachusetts where he was one of the few punk rockers in a small town in the early '80s. He "escaped" to Boston in his 20's and then jumped across the continent to California. His punk bands were as numerous as they were "awful & forgettable", but the concepts of self-sufficiency, DIY, and living within (or below) one's means took hold and have never let go. You may have seen him in the mosh pit in any of the following places: Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Las Vegas, New York, the Raleigh-Durham-Asheville triangle, New Orleans, Phoenix, San Francisco, St. Louis, and innumerable small towns in between, or, most recently Dublin, Ireland.
