Tim Barry : Richmond Virginia

This piece was originally featured in Transition Video Magazine Issue II. Get in touch with brynot if you're interested in getting a copy of this hard to find DVD. Filmed by Emmy Award nominated, Jake Burghart who is currently the Director of Photography on HBO's Vice News.

Saw Avail at the VFW on Bardstown Rd Louisville KY 1997?1998?. Great show. I believe Snapcase played and I apologize for not remembering who else. I think Scott Ricter's from Sunspring/Metroschifter brother's band played as well(mouthfull). Love Avail and I'm a history buff too Tim. I think geographically we grew up similar. Ohio River rat here. Peace. Come play Louisville soon.

I think it’s significant to make sure flags are represented correctly from a historical perspective, but regardless, both flags represented white supremacy and you can’t argue otherwise. “Neo nazis took this flag and ran with it” - that’s sort of irrelevant in most conversations. Blood was shed to ensure this country preserved the institution of slavery and white supremacy and in that regard, the south won. Black people are still navigating the fallout from 400 years of brutal slavery and racism.
If you were about to get shot, no one is going to care which gun it’s with.
All that aside, I saw avail a couple days ago in North Carolina. I think they rule and Tim has probably changed a lot over the past 20 years, as has society. There’s probably a lot of nuance even to his opinions back then that we don’t get to hear. I was happy to hear him talking about the gentrification of the neighborhoods, I think he’s a good guy who clearly cares about his community and others.
