If Rollins would apply that intellect to conservatism...

I seriously doubt these guys were sent back because of their views. Bad-mouthing establishment is a requirement for punk rock so you don't get booked to open for Pat Boone.

The lead singer of the Dead Kennedys has a standing invitation to Thanksgiving dinner any year he can make it because... (wait for it)
there's always room for Jello.

Yes! I love punk, the power that comes out of these songs is unbelievable. I grew up in New York city and later on Long Island and I was totally into punk in the 1980s I constantly went to shows after seeing UK Subs and I could never understand why it was so underground. To me it just utterly blew away heavy metal bands like led Zep, Black Sabbath, and when it did finally catch on in the early 1990s they watered it down and called it grunge.

I was listening to Blitz the other day, this is one of my all time favorites, its like listening to an nuke go off, I love it........

I don’t know anything about this band, but the admitted drug user Just Call Me Harry is still here, which is not a good look.
