I don't know about the accuracy of jimi's statement, but I want to add that
jimi, I believe is/was a writer/journo for the Island Ear or Good Times paper
and generally found his viewpoints to be reasonable. I, too, always believed
that TV, Blondie, Talking Heads, and Ramones were the forerunners of NY punk.
Never considered Wayne County as part of that group, although they probably 
were around at the time. Michael C. -- do you know the facts of this 
statement?

Henry
