Punk Rock Republicans
The McCain Blogette ^ | 10/25/08 | Meghan McCain

“It is my great honor to announce that Linda Ramone, the wife of the late legend Johnny Ramone will be joining me to campaign for my father in Nevada on Monday and Tuesday. I couldn’t be more excited and humbled if Elvis himself came out on the road with me. Looking forward to sharing with you what its like to campaign with a legend!”


Ohhh the times, they are a CHANGING.

How much would a sanitation engineer charge
to haul this type of junk to a land fill?

Reminds me of when I was a “yute.” I liked Lydon and the Pistols because he was a libertarian. Their song “Bodies” was an anti-abortion song though he said it was not anti or pro. In a roundabout way he said it was about personal responsibility and respect for human life. Their lyrics were very good for young poor working class youth sub-20 years old.

Lydon liked Newt and has said England has been destroyed in the past decade. He did not say Muslims but I got the drift. He lives in LA and has been a property inevstor. His wife came from a wealthy German family.

In their film on DVD that came out about 2 years - the NY Times talks about how it was an indictment of Thatcher whcih was totally wrong. Lydon’s voice over at the start of the film shows garbage piled up in the street in London and essentially indicts the Labour Party (UK’s DemoRats).

Does anyone, but me, see any irony in this at all? Think about it...

Most people don't get that it was actually the socialist ideals of the late 60’s and early 70’s that was a big part of what punk was rebelling against. The Ramones invented the whole thing.

About a month ago I saw a kid wearing a CBGB's shirt and an Obama button. Clearly he didn't get it. My CB's shirt is older than the kid was.

Will they be auctioning off the original film for the Quincy episode "Next Stop Nowhere", where we learned that punk music would turn us into murderers?
