Resquiat In Pace

Everytime a Ramone dies, a 18-year old melo-punk guitarist loses some talent.

Anyone who thinks that the Ramones were conservative or liberal, they didn't care either way. They just got drunk, stoned, or coked-up and wrote some Ramones material that lasted forever.

Punks didn't like hippies or their political correctness. Punks also believed in the principle of "Do it yourself".

It is historical revisionism that makes people believe that all punks are anarchist-socialists. It got co-opted by the commies just as rock and roll did in the 1960s.

There were no politics involved in 1950s rock and roll. Some may claim "integration" but there were no such lyrics (I have heard some earlier jump blues songs that refer to white people and black people both liking the music). Integration of young people happened as a response to an appreciation of the music, setting aside differences, not a political act or mindset. Politics in 1950s and early 1960s music was found in the more "respected" folk singer movement.
