Here something else I would like to say....most punkers I know and hang with like Rock-A-Billy music as well. Now if you look at the two kinds ( for those who do not know Rock-A-Billy Stray cats and the Blasters are two big names) they are differnt but hold this to be same the rebel type. So what came about then, Cow Punk, psychobilly and stuff like that. I am just an old fart that has been into Punk for many years and with these days I do not get the new " Punk"

So when kids wear shirts that say DK on them do they know whatit really means or do they think it stands for Donkey Kong??? do they really know who the Misfits are?? Do they know that the Misfits today are not what they were years ago??? do they realy know about the Germs? do they know that the sanger today is not the real one that started the band?

My thing is this, music played a HUGE role in my life, and it seems that it is more of a fad today then a life style. I do not have a mohawk or did I ever, I do not wear spikes or did I ever...you do not have to dress like that to be a punk take a look at the old bands like Circle Jerks those guys looked like nerds but are hard core punks. Look at DK back in the day when Jello was still singing the bassist looked like a nerd big glasses and what not..

Wow I am rambling

I know I'm kind of interjecting here, but since Nate owned the topic, as Kara pointed out, I'm just going to say it. The Misfits today are a complete joke. I mean, THEY HAVE MISFITS SLEEPING BAGS AND SHOES NOW. COME ON. Well.. same could be said for the Sex Pistols. Sort of.
