<< In the 70’s very few people went to punk shows, bought punk records, liked it. >>
Depends on one’s neck of the woods. My walking distance stomping grounds in the late ‘70s was the Sunset Strip (The Roxy, The Whisky, The Rainbow, Gazzarri’s, etc.), and punk was big there at that time. My high school had a decent share of punkers back then. While I occasionally listened to The Ramones, Pistols, Clash, and a few others and went to a few shows, I was still a rocker / bluesman at heart.
Yes. Los Angeles. San Francisco. Manhattan.
And even the numbers in these places were not that big in the 70’s.
You left out the Masque (not on the Strip).
In the 70’s most people were still long haired hippies.
Did you have Clash or Ramones or Sex Pistols albums?
