Culture Clash
How sad that punk music now makes me feel old.
Lots to catch up on after a short trip, but this one anecdote is priority blog material. Hanging out with a big gang of old college friends from nearly 20 years ago, Jeanne told how her 17-year-old nephew is in a band and considers himself a punk. His idea of punk, however, is the likes of Green Day. So she told him she needed to give him a re-education in punk, and she bought him a bunch of CDs, including The Circle Jerks, The Ramones, Black Flag and The Clash.
His response to The Clash: “This is folk music. You can keep it.”
