Hippies! New Model Army Are Hippies!

and phil lynott responded to gary moore when asked what this punk thing was - same music, different clothes. in fact paranoid is probably one of the earliest punk songs. and leonard cohen, bob dylan, woodie guthrie were all punk as ****

You can even add Groucho Marx to that list as guys who were punk as ****. In one of the Marx Brothers movies from the early 1930s, Groucho sings a song called "Whatever It Is, I'm Against It." That's as punk as punk could get.

Impossible to specifically define punk. Safety pins, bondage gear, and three chord songs is the common definition, but any fan of the punk scene knew it sure wasn't definable. First time I heard "Never Mind The Bollocks" I heard Chuck Berry boogie riffs, '50s rock and roll, just played LOUD! And The Ramones themselves said they really set out to be a pop band like The Archies, it's just that they couldn't play their instruments with any skill. I always loved Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders. Her songwriting showed an excellent skill with melodies and the pop form itself, but I always considered her a punk. Punk covers a lot of ground. Heck, Jay Z and Kanye can be classified as punks. One thing we can all agree on is that Jon Bon Jovi certainly is not.

NMA punks, hippies, Neil Young wannabees....who cares really. Very hard band to specifically define. I'm sure that's why the members here love them.

it appears your desire here seems to be to improve your self esteem. thats not required. you can settle down and fit in if you like. no need to impress anyone. we are all nma fans after all.

punk means thinking for yourself and not really caring what others think of you

you might have found a place where you can get along. maybe you shouldn't risk that by pissing of so many of the members with such generalisations as your last comment above.

Heno, what the hell is your post about? Good God, my posts here are now being psychoanalyzed?

And for your info, my self-esteem is through the roof. I am a New Yorker, born and raised there. Every New Yorker knows from birth that we are better than every living soul on Earth.

 I am glad that most New Yorkers that i have met do not share the same opinion of themselves.  Nobody is better than anyone else. We are all human, all bleed, all cry and all eventually die.   What i like about this forum is that most people treat each other equally. Everyone is made to feel welcome. You were too. Welcome, again. Now, let's all be nice.

got time to come back. sorry

i know lots of native new yorkers and never really heard any of them spout that much rubbish. certainly not in the circle of friends that would also be into nma. always found them down to earth and very humble.

maybe you should have the story about being from new york checked out.

Yoko Ono said it best...."we're all water from different rivers"
(check out the awesome cover of John & Yoko's album "sometime in new york city". Nixon and Mao dancing naked!
