Ah, who cares? The punk outfit considered the first DIY band in this area's postgarage era, the superseminal Cichlids; and the godfather of local o-rock, Charlie Pickett, are also on a bill stunning for the number of bands getting together a quarter-century after their glory days.
The music will be powerful, but the historical significance and chance to flash back to a wondrous time in Dade-Broward cultural history is just as big a draw. As is a chance to pay homage to a woman who gave over much of her life to helping others.

For those about to rock, they salute her. — Greg Baker
