“Sleater-Kinney” replied the collective crowd. “What are you in line for?” the next guy asked. “Like Ministry? Like Sex Pistols?” “No, no, not like them” was the reply. When another passerby asked what kind of band it was, a couple girls in front of us said “punk”. The guy wasn’t too old to know who Sleater-Kinney was, he just had bad taste in music. “Man, I’m getting old,” claimed a man who graduated high school the same year I did, “I don’t know who Sleater-Kinney is, but I remember standing in line for Limp Bizkit.” The condescending laughs from the crowd drove him away, but not before someone informed him that Sleater-Kinney and Limp Bizkit might come from different worlds, but they actually come from the same generation. As the line stretched out in front of the theater, past Angelo’s Records to the other side of Ogden St., many of Colfax’s finest took the time to inquire. Seeing the name Sleater Kinney on the marquee at the Ogden Theatre last night was quite a sight, but it didn’t stir nostalgic emotions for everyone on Colfax.
