Summary

In honor of the recently late musician and anarchist Pete Ventantonio aka Jack Terricloth we discuss his band The World/Inferno Friendship Society. TW/IFS, in addition to being a band, could be and often was described as performance art, a community, or even a cult. We are joined by A.M. Gittlitz from The Antifada and later, Ted Leo of punk legend, to discuss their respective eulogies of Pete/Jack, anarchism, Temporary Autonomous Zones, comedy and how it all comes back to punk. A.M.
