We had my sister-in-law's boyfriend to our house yesterday, who is from #Iran, and my kids were making coloured eggs. He pointed out that they do that in Iran, too, for #Nowruz, and now I *must* find out if these practices are related!

Nowruz is an *ancient* holiday, and #Easter is an old #pagan word for a very #Christian holiday, but "Easter" for many people is eggs and bunnies (ie, #RitesOfSpring), so this stuff could ALL be related.

Rites of Spring's self-titled debut, released 40 years ago today, perfectly encapsulated the bold energy that swept over the D.C. hardcore scene during the 'Revolution Summer' of 1985.

By challenging the macho posturing that was so prevalent in the Mid-80s scene, the short-lived quartet paved the way for the now ubiquitous "emo" subgenre.

The remaining members then proceeded to build upon its foundation with the subsequent formation of Fugazi.
