Wire was and still is a great band. The Minutemen were fantastic!

A punker nears AARP eligibility- organization adopts Buzzcocks tune

[RepoGirl]

Yeah, I hear you. The day I heard "Lost in the Supermarket" by The Clash in the grocery store, I felt old.

[GSWarrior]

I saw Gang of Four in 1982 (Songs of the Free tour). One of the best shows I've seen.

Oh yeah, there was some opening band no one had heard of...REM!

[RepoGirl]

especially since I'm about to become a Mommy myself! ;)

Congratulations, mom to be! You're about to embark on a wonderful journey of no sleep and endless diapers, but its amazing, joyful and often times hilarious nonetheless!!

By the way, PUNK MOMS RULE!

The The is in an M&M's ad? Just damn.

I liked Mind Bomb a lot, but never bought the last CD Matt put out. (Dusk?)

I went to TheThe.com about a year or so ago to see what he was up to. Unsurprising lefty nonsense, it seems.

[To Hell With Poverty]

Hee heee, thanks! I'm pretty excited. I need to get some iron-on inkjet transfer paper and start making some little punk-rock onesies like I did for my God-daughter ("Daddy makes me listen to Joy Division", etc.).

Hey I peeped your homepage and saw your mention of "Christie "The Nostril" Lane"...OMG, LOL!!!

[To Hell With Poverty]

Yeah, it's an oldie, too, "This is the Day" which I think is on Soul Mining? I haven't paid attention to anything past Mind Bomb either...maybe because it came out when I was in college and I've since been sort cut off from the culture...ah age...

[RepoGirl]

I did that too!! Only I did the basic Misfits skull onesies, and a Ramones one -- then I found them for sale at Hot Topic and they looked better.

Yes, all must hail the horrifying power that is The Nostril. One day at a time, my a$$. That woman is a freak!

[To Hell With Poverty]

Wowie! I was 10 that year ;) Kinda came into it all after the fact. I used to LLLOOOVVE REM - to the point that it got me to UGA from the Boston area - but let's just say that these days, ah, "the magic is gone...."

[To Hell With Poverty]

There's a store here in Atlanta that had little black overalls that say "Anarchy in the Pre-K", but they sold out of em, darnit! They do still have the classic black t-shirt with ribcage silkscreen, luckily. ;)

I can't wait to start horrifying the in-laws.....all the easier since I'm having a girl!

[machman]

Where is Social Distortion on the list? The Adolescents? Agent Orange? The Germs?

[doodad]

A conservative and Reagan supporter too

And when Joey's girlfriend left him for Johnny, Joey wrote "The KKK Took My Baby Away." Funny stuff.

OPI Ping.....

[Borges]

So many punk riffs were cribbed from T. Rex and the New York Dolls.

And Alice Cooper.

[The SISU kid]

Punk started when Iggy and the Stooges put out their first album back in 1968.

HERE! HERE! BTW, I was watching the Disney movie "Snow Day" w/ my grandson the other night, and realized that Iggy played the ice skating D.J.!!! About floored me!

I worked the Iggy Pop show in 1991 at the Rialto Theatre in Raleigh. (I I believe it was the Brick by Brick tour) He was nice to all of us. I remember that because most of the performers we encountered could be quite rude. Iggy's back with the Stooges and touring again. I used to hang out with Ron Ashton and the gang here in Ann Arbor years ago, and these days see Ron's manager a lot at the rink. The whole crowd is very conservative, very pro military. Who'd have thought that in Ann Arbor!

Not as ancient as these guys:

[wideawake]

Or when The Monks put out their album in 1966.

[Constitution Day]

That is so cool! Kind of surprising, though.

I would love to see Iggy & The Stooges live. Now I'll have to go see if they're coming anywhere in North Carolina.
