I can’t believe this is actually Bob Dylan lol. I thought it was a fake.

Is that really Dylan? If so that’s great .

Apparently it’s really him. I can’t imagine him using a smartphone or computer though lol

Well he’s originally from Minnesota so he probably likes hockey at least casually

Enjoy ‘retirement’ Fat Mike.

I saw something that just broke the other day (after the NOFX finale) that Hopeless Records is going to buy Fat Wreck, which Mike still owns with his first wife.

That's gotta be worth a couple or few million, if I had to guess. Between that and the museum in Vegas (does he have a main ownership stake in that?) he's probably set for life.

As long as he still isn't spending several thousand a day on coke anymore.

The other members probably aren't all that set up for life. The one dude (drummer?) shapes surfboards and has been doing that for a while. I read him say somewhere that he even drove doing uber eats during the pandemic, because he didn't have enough money to retire if he wanted to. Maybe that's changed in the last 3 years they started to play shows again.

There was some ny times article I think about their “retirement” and it was clear only Fat Mike was retiring, everyone else still had bills to pay and was gonna work.

Can You Retire if You Never Had a Job? NOFX Will Try.

The punk rock pioneers chose freedom — and chaos — over major labels. Pulling the plug while things are still working is one final act of rebellion.

I snagged one of his autographed skateboards a month or so ago at at one of their last shows, had a weird face on it I had no idea was associated with his brand until I saw it on his kick drum on his their last show they just played and made the connection.

I've also saw people say that they were still gonna record and make new music, just no more live shows? I don't follow them too closely. They're not one of my favorite bands. They're okay. They're better than the 100 bands (mostly from Southern California) that sound like them, many of whom became huge. When I first heard Blink 182 I thought it was NOFX.
