No, the photograper had to wait 2 minutes for my sneer to subside.

You got beat up by an old man?
 
 That's sooooo not punk......

It sure got black awfully quick then.
 
 I would have thought it would have been me that Mankie would have hit, but he was a perfect gentleman. Maybe he got the violence out of his system before I arrived.

Did no one notice Mankies hand all bandaged up? The bastard sucker-punched me whilst I was looking the other way.

I'm still thinking Lulu got sick of Mark E's smart mouth.  
 
 Back to Christmas presents, I got a totally bitchin' chess board, an iPod, a great sweater, and some fantastic CD's.

Dude, it's a Mac and a Mini -- don't get much more punk than that (in that millennium punk kind of way...)

Those don't sound very punk. [/b]

I thought being punk was reading Fortune magazine and creating bands.  Isn't that what McLaren did?

 I would never have punched you in Celeste's presence, because she does seem to always fight your battles and I don't really want to fight her....wrestle? Ooh yeah baby, but not fight!

I got that too...... Its a bit odd isnt it? Is boys dont cry punk? Or Joe Jackson? [/b]

I'd don't know if I'd really call "Boys Don't Cry" punk, but I guess if you consider punk to be the whole DIY, grab a guitar and play your heart out ethic, I could see why it's included.  Plus, there's no denying the Cure's image was a bit radical for the late 70's. I would have picked a different Cure song though.
 
 Joe Jackson - yeah - I'd call him a punk back in the day.  But again - bad song choice. "One More Time" or "I'm The Man" would fit a little better onto this comp.  Maybe they were just trying to show how new-wave started rearing it's ugly head on the scene?
 
 

Plus have you read the booklet? The writer need to check up on his history.[/b]

Not yet.  I've glanced through it, but that's it.
 
 

Still the music is pretty great.[/b]

Absolutely!

[thirsty moore]

I heard some of that in Video American.  Isn't it mainly most of Rhino's previous comps put together in one box set?  Have they finally included The Clash?  
 
 Mark, I'm curious to find out what you think of the LA Scene.

You mean the old DIY series?  Yeah - it takes a lot from those discs.  If you have those, this isn't a necessary purchase. Those are long out of print though.
 
 And yes, they include The Clash.  Only "White Riot" though.
