[kj] Prisons had punks first

[Alexander Smith]

"Punk" was someone who took it up the ass, yes. There's a great  
anecdote about when Wayne Kramer of the MC5 was in jail (for drugs,  
naturally) in the late 70s, and suddenly all these music magazine are  
citing him as a "punk progenitor," and he was terrified and flushing  
every available copy in the prison down the toilet just to protect his  
vulnerable backside.
