And trying to understand punk
Punk, in my opinion, is way over-analysed. What was there to understand? I sat in my family's suburban living room in 70s Christchurch with my Mum and Dad and watched a TV doco about Dylan Taite going to London to examine a shocking new music with weird-looking followers. The parents harumphed and disgusted and nonsensed their way through it. I was riveted; the Sound talked to me and FU'ed the parents and all the rest of the hoary old pop rubbish I was hearing. Best of all they hated it. So what was a girl to do? Sawed off the spiral perm to a Twiggy crop, find a miniskirt, fluorescent pink jersey and plastic sandals. It was so much fun, and so easy. and after of three or four years the music calmed down, and I grew up, and people who took it too seriously wrote books about it. Teenage rebellion, pure and simple.

? ( or do I really want to know) Revised to: that's a creepy comment. Songs mean different things to different people; obviously your take on that song is a whole lot different to mine. Mine was that it's a great dance number, and I want to dance in heaven.

I think Punk possibly had the most impact on mid-teens with no prior convictions... of the musical sort at least.
Punk's impact was especially on mid-teens like me who lurved Lou Reed, David Bowie, the Velvets, T Rex, the Kinks, the Animals, the Rolling Stones, psychedelic pop and that sort of groove. In other words we had a genre we liked but it wasn't named until punk happened along. I also liked Pink Floyd and in thos e days Genesis and similar proggy fare.

Danny Watson in the Afternoon on who knows what and who cares radio station. Guaranteed to give road rage when he appears in my car.

And, speaking of heaven, there'll be dancing, right?
Bound to be; and it will an embarrassment-free zone too. There will be a large sound-proofed area for prog rock (with beanbags). And good food.

Bad clubs and bad hair days in the eighties. Why does anyone want to live through that again?.

Hell will play this, on repeat. Pompous.
Heaven on the other hand will have Grace:
