5) "Well it’s 1969, Ok. All across the USA, it’s another year for me and you, another year with nothing to do”- Iggy Pop, “1969”- In addition to righteous indignation, punk rock has its roots in a feeling that life’s not fun enough. We’re young and can’t do nothing; it’s the Summertime Blues that keep coming, all through winter, spring and fall. Since we stay young for just a moment, to make it useful is to make it loud. And if we don’t make you proud at least we’ll know that we’re still living. Here’s the link from punk to Elvis. Alone and driving a truck is too damn bleak for my young heart.
6) “Well we busted out of class, we had to get away from those fools. We learned more from a three minute record baby then we ever learned in school”- Bruce Springsteen, “No Surrender”- School’s out forever, if you want it. Homework really was a fucking waste of time. You were right, Zak at 16. Driving down the highway playing “Born to Run” was better in this tiny little life then all my time in study hall. “We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep”. You’ll fail big, you won’t get far, a degree will open doors, that without it will be barred. But that’s cause life’s not fair, not for value there at all. Be young while you’re still young, fight against them till you fail, and if you give up when you’re young, even then still play this song.
