Punk

'Punk' was a catagory on Jeopardy tonight.

Henry Rollins. The Clash. Iggy Pop.

These are Giants that stride the earth like colossi.

Let that sink in deep, then read the opening line again:

'Punk' was a catagory on Jeopardy tonight!

The music that fueled the rage of generations is now 'square' enough to be game show questions. Or 'safe'. That depresses me on some weird level.

I know it happens to the best of us. Everyday times they are a changin'.

Will Slipknot be used to sell cars someday? Or fries like Quiet Riot?

Who else will fall? X? Dead Kennedys....or Dead Milkmen?

Screw it. I'm gonna play Big Black at 3 am and tell the neighbors they can all get fucked!

Well....yeah.

I mean, whats next?

Marilyn Manson being sent up Vegas show style to pimp a family cruise line? "Oh honey, we're *all* stars now in the Dope Show!"

Think it couldnt happen?

Never thought "Revolution" meant selling sneakers, but it *happened*.

Diane: You can't sit around all day with your heroin and listening to Ziggy Pop.
Renton: It's Iggy Pop!
Diane: Whatever, the guy's dead anyway.
Renton: Iggy Pop is not dead. He toured last year! Tommy went to see him!
