Here’s another way of bringing together the folks who shaped San Diego’s underground music scene in the early ’80s as well as anyone who’s interested in that brilliant flash in the rock-‘n’-roll pan.
Che Underground: The Forum lets anyone read about the Che Underground scene and beyond. It also provides registered, approved users the chance to create threads; post content; and interact about their activities past, present and future.
Here’s what you do:
- Go and have a look around. Until you register, all you can do is read.
- Register. When your friendly administrators see you in the queue, we’ll give you access.
- Participate. You’ll be able to start and comment on threads. Get creative; we’re looking for new topics and new voices!
But first, a few simple rules:
N.b.: “Public” means public! Never forget that when you hit that Post button, your words may be be seen forever by employers, creditors, your kids/grandkids, and the government. We’re great, offbeat, creative people, and we should celebrate that — but don’t assume that anything public is under the radar.
Use common sense and the Golden Rule:
- Don’t discuss drug use or serious criminal offenses on the Che Underground blog or forum.
- Don’t implicate others for past activities that might cause them embarrassment today. (Warning your friends in advance before you tell tales is never a bad idea.)
- I hope we won’t have to cut off anyone’s access — but I do reserve the right to deny or cancel access to anyone who intentionally exposes our members to embarrassment or discomfort.
Don’t hesitate to ask questions about our policies. This is a work in progress, and the idea is to have fun and learn about our shared history. Hope you’ll join us!

Just sayin’ it’s nice to be back here again. We had a scene that was famous way beyond understanding at the time. Reading all this stuff it’s clear why. Some kind of music/culture vortex in S.D. for us in the 80s like unto S.F. for the original acid rock scene, Chicago for the blues, etc. We had our thing. It was just normal to all of us. I, for one, remember when I relocated to S.F. everything seemed kinda tame by comparison. One friend I made up there remarked “What is it with you guys from San Diego? You ooze ‘creative cool’ like most people sweat on a hot day.” All I could say was that was how we grew up.
There is a lot of deep in the arteries conservatism in San Diego, and I think that it engendered a creativity from even otherwise borderline misfits, as a survival response.
Where is the “like” button?
Dave,
I added a “Like Button” for you!
