 " If you say Punk is not Rock 'n' Roll ,  well , that's wrong. And , if you say Punk is not a form of Rock'n'Roll , well , that's wrong. Punk , to me , is the art of cramming into one second what it used to take all night for us to do. When The Elevators would play with , say , The Conqueroo , at the end of the show, when we'd both played our sets , you HAD to jam. Don't even think of what kind of Hell they'd raise if you did'nt jam.".

"I like The Sex Pistols , sure. They remind me a lot of Fiorello La Guardia. My favorite Sex Pistols song? Hmmmmm. I have it. The First Sex Pistols Song I ever heard? I guess "Hot Cars".

"Somebody sent me a Talking Heads tape.   It's hard to listen to !". 

Roky Erickson.

My favourite punk quote was said to myself during work today.

"The New York Dolls - nothing but a vaudeville 12 bar blues bar band"

"There was no-one wearing hippy love beads in the summer of hate - 1966" ... Bob Landfield,friend, genius garage collector and true punk.

In regards to hip hop, Bob again comes up with the goods.

"...as bizarre as it sounds, this ``music" has been as destructive and corrosive as any American societal trend in my lifetime"

'I'm all for peace an love mate, If only i could do something about these fucking mood swings' Overheard on a bus home yesterday. Cannae say more punk than that!

From The Little Orange Book  , "The Wit and Wisdom of "?"".

"When we started out , people were calling us "Punks". I said , "Don't call us Punks !" , because to be a Punk , back then , meant to be a hoodlum. It does'nt mean that , today , but we were never "Punk" like The Sex Pistols. We're not violent".

"On "Girl , You Captivate Me ", where I say "Girl , You Masturbate Me". Love songs are fine , but , life is a little more REAL than that.

"Now , I don't cuss. But , when I did "Loose" by The Stooges , and Iggy sang "I'm burning to you straight from Hell." . Well , Iggy ain't got no ATTITUDE , you see , so I had to give it some attitude , by saying , "I'm FUCKING to you , straight from Hell !".

That's good. I need to start taking notes on the train and bus.

That's right ! " Singin' AWOOOO , Werewolves of London."

".Roky does'nt drink OR do drugs...Mole's quote is from the "April Fools Day " interview , KSAN Radio 4/1/78. It might be on you tube , if you can't find it elsewhere. It will ASTONISH you. Roky's host , Howie Klein , befuddled and condescending all the while , certainly was. Gregg Turner and SOME in-studio callers try to hold things together...Howie even admonishes one caller for calling Roky , "Roger" , his real name.

 This isn’t a woman’s dress, this is a man’s dress.
—Iggy Pop, circa 1971.

You can't feed strawberries to pigs.-Lou Reed on the negative reaction to Metal Machine Music

See, them at the hospital, they tried to keep me in there but they didn't realize my power. How could they?-Roky Erickson

From We Never Learn:

"I went to the van to change my shirt, and the van had been broken into. So I went fucking completely apeshit. I went back in and started throwing shit, walking around all covered in sweat, threatening people with a screwdriver, "Where the fuck is my Walkman?" So they took me back to the hotel to chill out, and Tim [Warren] was missing. He was fucking a disco square."
- Mike Mariconda (Raunch Hands)

Punk friend in Dusseldorf turned 40 a few years back. His mates made him a jacket with a patch on the back saying ' Too old to die young'.

That kicks ass.
