[kj] OT- Alex, Johnny speaks of the Ramones

[iPat]

some romanticise, theorise, some experienced.
For some punk was simply a bit of rock n roll whilst for others it was
a whole social phenomenon.
there were first wave bands totally uninfluenced by the ramones,
proved that before and can prove it now.
When i first saw it explode it was the music set to scenes of chaos
and not dingy nightclubs with drag queens and self indulgent hippies.

to even try and pinpoint the single influence is arrogant and self
indulgent, a pointless exercise to satisfy the fantasies of an
impotent adolescent. There were many influences and they came from
loads of different angles, a melting pot of social shifting with
musical breakdown. To not be able to see that is simply ignorant.
