Thanks, beachbreak... cite... as in, "citation." Duh... I'm comparing the late 70's early 80's punk scene with the the 60's free love scene in that it can't be repeated. My first recollection of punk was in my 7th grade social studies class, which would have been '77 or '78, doing a current events presentation in front of the class on the Sex Pistols. First time I had ever heard of punk... and it was shocking. Awesomely shocking. I remember reporting that they "said swear words in their songs."
Haha, yeah, that about sums up what most people know about punk. Cheers to you for doing a report on it.
if you like them you'll probably like Rise Against. not my favorite bands, but they have a similar sound and message
no his lyrics don't really have a complete story..he just kind of rambles on about random topics and then rhyms them at the end. I'm not hating on christian rap, I just don't think he speaks his ideas very clearly.
