as strange as it may sound. While watching a bit of The Alternative of VH1 Classic last night (anything to get away from sports talk about my pathetic Patriots), the Sex Pistols "Anarchy in the UK" came on. It was fun to see the 70's era kids in the crowd shots, all black-haired, mascaraed, paper-clips trough noses, ears...it was loud, different, thumbed a big "fuck you" to the bloated establishment of the time...Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, the Stones...who couldn't help but be swept up by that, the newness and the freshness for a change?

But in the end it was all flash and no substance as the Pistols imploded, and the kids moved on to the New Wave and then the new thing after that, and after that, etc...while the others carried on in one form or another.

Just sayin...
