["Raymond" <ray@wavewalker.freeserve.co.uk>]

Maurice is right - i'd fed up reading this lazy bollox from journos whose
idea of good music is antiseptic,anodyne,corporate -cloned garbage and i
mean let's face facts it's the Guardian talking here ,a bunch of
uptight,clueless,spinelsss middle class assholes who wouldn't be able to
spot the new Sex Pistols even if they were doing a three week residency in
their front room- you should read their supplement mag on a saturday grrrr
it makes me wanna join
Class War

here's something if you
were 16 in 1977 as i was it was a fecking incredibly exciting joyous time to
be alive yes
ALIVE because of punk and these idiots are just jealous that they weren't
able to live through it /enjoy it
first hand themselves
