"The Fabulous Wailers, The Leaves, The 13th Floor Elevators and The Seeds would have been some heavy shit with or without the Beatles. Would the Beatles have been nearly as heavy without them? I find that very doubtful. The Beatles were a pop…"
Kicks just got easier to find.

Well said!!! He is the Drunk Werewolf of Woodstock after all!!!!!
John Battles said:" 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".

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"

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 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.

RJFait replied to Reverend Stevee Ray's discussion the Beatles ... why NOT ?"I don't hate the Beatles, I just think the bulk of their work was gutless pop. At some point in the middle they started getting better drugs or something and put out a few good records. Then, they went right back to gutless pop."
RJFait replied to Rocco's discussion The Age Ole Question; Beatles or Stones?"It's funny that you ask this. I've always said, there are 2 kinds of people, Beatles and Stones, and they don't mix well. I am definitely Stones, my wife is Beatles. If only I'd asked 11 years ago..."
RJFait replied to matthew rosedon's discussion Too old to rock?"Yes, both pushing 70, and the last time I saw Charlie he was practically dying from the flu and still performed with more energy and rocked harder than just about any other punk singer I've seen of any age. Iggy Pop is 25 years older than I am…"
