Revival No.2 (Punk Edition.)

"People try to put us down, just because we get around. I don't need that fucking shit. I am not trying to cause big sensation. Talking about my generation. I am so young, goddamn young. We created it, let's take it over." - Patti Smith

'My generation' might as well sum up the entire punk culture. A generational declaration, many thought as 'attitude', but really a radical re-interpretation of blues and poetry in Rock n Roll. The attitude is backed up by significantly more demanding electric guitar playing. Faster. Louder. A short riff and phrase played twice or three times the regular tempo. A departure from much too commercialized post vietnam invasion recording industry, the fat Elvis period.

It's always the raw skill that redefines time despite all the ass clowns in high places who say no. "Peculiar infidels". "... but he could play a guitar just like ringing a bell, go go... johnny go."
Salute to all the great ones.
