We also called it New Wave or New Muzik, whatever. I know, I was there listening to the Ramones, Iggy & the Stooges, Generation X, Television, Talking Heads, Devo, etc.

These bands were for the most part nihilistic and or drug-addled (eg: Iggy - "Now I wanna be your dog.", "Fun - I'm gonna get stoned and run around") - hardly embodiments of conservative sensibilities. Television, however, especially Marquee Moon, was great art!

Well, as I said it was a transitional stage...some just never left it. Most of us moved forward, but there were times of despair, especially when Bubba was in office.

Johnny Rotten is closer to the GOP than he is to the liberals. "Bodies" is an anti-abortion song.
