1. “Bosom Buddies”, Andrea Puss, “Of Philadelphia Pusses?”
2. “Square Pegs”, Johnny Slash, “New Wave fan, NOT PUNK, totally different head. Totally.”

I never saw the first one. But I’m sure it wasn’t. Johnny Slash represented was the horrible co-option they stole the term New Wave to label, like Rinos to real conservatives.

“…one of punk’s goals was always to upset the cultural apple cart and make squares question their very being. “

Pseudo hipsters always underestimate “squares”. It’s the only way that can feel superior to someone.

A pseudo hipster wrote this so don’t take it seriously.

The Ramones were a mix of punk and 60’s rock.

Great to listen to.

Gabba Hey...

Yeah, kind of. But punk wasn’t a musical genre. To the extent it was, the Ramones largely defined it.

Wow. You are genius to recognize that. I was commenting on being 9 years-old per your prior comment.

In two you said you were a punk since you were nine.

Any things cool. I thought that’d be amazing if you were in to punk at 9 in 1978.

(and even some Erik Estrada singing)

I’m glad I missed that.

I would have thought ICBMs were about to launch.

Push a razor blade into your nose!
Whip your partner with a rubber hose!
Spit at the band, ‘cause that’s the way it goes!
Do The Punk Polka!

Drink a little beer, and drink a little scotch!
Turn around and kick your neighbor in the crotch!
It’s no fun if you just stand and watch!
Do The Punk Polka!

Jump, jump, jump, jump up and down in place!
Jab a safety pin into your face!
Excuse me while I leave the human race
To do The Punk Polka!

Nothing but death, nothing but death
Nothing but death and destruction!
Bad breath, armpits, terminal acne
Nothing but death for MEEEEEEEEEE!

—The Toons

I used to have to duck down when driving because of my Mohawk. Yes, me.

The Metroplex in Atlanta was one of the many places torn down for the Olympics.

Saw John Cale there, among others.

The guy may know his Punk but he doesn’t know his 70’s television.

CHiPs is not a SitCom.

It’s a police drama. A particularly poor police drama. And occasionally unintentionally funny. But NOT a SitCom.
