Thanks for adding me bc2, repo girl might be one to add as well.
Yeah Mark, it is rather infectious, I've had the same experiences.
Has anyone heard The Ramones cover of the Spider Man theme from the old cartoon? They really should use that in the next Spidey film, it rocks!!!

Definately.
I've got Gang of Four playing in the background.
Red Roses For Me is the best Pogues album.

My favorite group in the early 80s was the Plasmatics. There was something nihilistic about them, but that is not quite the word. I thought it was pretty cool when the late Wendy O. Williams shouted at the end of a TV performance: "I hate art! I hate fashion!"

Which, in turn, reminds me of Chloë Sevigny's performance as Dot in Gummo.

There was a lot of marxism associated with the Clash.

FYI:
Punk Rock web site launched for Conservatives
... this site boasts conservatives from well-known artist Michale Graves of Gotham Road and former lead singer of the Misfits, to conservative talk show host and former rock jock Andrew Wilkow, to the average person on the street. This site has been created to counteract the multiple liberal punk sites on the web, which are run by only a small number of punk artists who are choosing to make up the minds of thousands of voters.

You don't hear very often of stars who walk away from the spotlight, and don't long to have it back. Jack Lord, Flip Wilson, and Bob Seger are three others I can think of.

Johnny seems to be somewhat private now that he is retired (he reportedly turns down a lot of attempts at interviews).
Maybe all of this renewed liberal activism as well as this growing conservative activism is finally getting him motivated to speak out about his politics.
Certainly with all of the leftist punks and "rockers" trying to hijack the music as being something only leftists can love is something Johnny may be counted on to challenge.
One reason that punks despised hippies is that they saw through all of their BS. They saw the hypocrisy. They saw the first pangs of Political Correctness and the little dictators that pushed it. Leggs McNeil discusses this (and their rejection of PC) in Please Kill Me, the oral history of punk.
All you need to know about today's Bush hating war protestors is that they never took to the streets to protest Bill Clinton's wars. They never graffittied "Stop" signs over any of his bombing strikes.
We know that Saddam was funding some of the antiwar movement. We know that global socialists (and pro-Stalinists) and black shirted anarchists were promoting the global anti(American)war/proPalestinian war protests.
Saddam was a Stalin loving socialist.

Nothing I've read or recall points to any member of the Ramones shooting up other than Dee Dee Ramone.

"Hey," he says, perusing Newsmax.com as he speaks on the phone, "what's going on with these illegal aliens now?" Awesome.

Is there a punk ping list? If not does anyone want to be on it, if I start one? I think you should start one.
Further, I think you should add me to it.
