There has been this special on TV lately about all the rage in punk musi from the 7d's and 8d's. I grew up during that time period but was too young to notice the "Punk Movement". If you want to know what the REAL meaning of "Star Wars" is just listen to some of the ole hardcore musi. It is real and down to earth about us and them. The older Generation had had it's way with us and it was time to "Strike Back"! We punks united and found solace in the fact that numbers hurt a system ruled in number land. Funny how tables can turn and the oppressor becomes the oppressee? Although it was not more of a power struggle but a battle of wits. Much like the poets and now the Hip--Hop Battles of now--a--daze. The struggle for control of one's own self through a life lived in CHAOS made for a somewhat sorrowful and powerful struggle. It only made sense...things change and not even the WALLED Up Establishment can put a stop to that!
Much respect for the early pioneers!
