Having an 'ethos' is not punk; it's sheeplike bourgeois elitism for the overeducated masses, like listening to Pink Floyd in sheepskin slippers.

Originally posted by Palynkana, no chance, i saw Johnny live in the Glasgow barrowlands, he stopped twice complaining of the adulation of people spitting on him. eventually someone was so overcome and starstruck that they threw a bottle at him and it hit him on the head, but not before he had played pretty vacant. shame he never got to play anarchy.

Originally posted by PalynkaI am, somewhat reminded of he apostle Paul, who when in Corinth, had to refrain the people from sacrificing to himself because they suspected that he may be a manifestation of Zeus, 'the Gods are among us they cried' in order to do so, he literally stage dived into the crowd and ripping his garments apart, exclaimed ', i am also flesh and blood'! - Acts 14:11-15 🙂 the first recorded instance of the Punk Ethos?
