You've been on this board too long to : not : : : know I made that "mobile" post. I slipped up : on a : : : few words, and ya let me have it. So. I gots : ta : : : say... : : : ...Jesus Christ...It looks like the power : grid : : : still hasn't failed over Los Angeles. You : know, : : : imagine this: the Bugs Bunny Looney Toons : music : : : is playing, your face is in the middle of the : : : screen, and instead of those concentric Tide : : : detergent-like rings behind you, there are : : : concentric anal sphincters, and the the : : : words "That's An Ass, Folks!" reads on top. : : : That's how you sound HRG. Punker Than Thou? : New : : : Wave to the Grave? I don't think so Mrs. : : : Robinson. You know nothing. I lived that : shit, : : : and it had nothing to do with any bandanas, : or : : : Banana Rama's...It was about *dove gray*. : Before : : : The Cure's black, before The Clash's : camoflage, : : : before Oingo Boingo's bright ass colors and : : : primitive imagery, everything had to be dove : : : gray. That was the feeling on Melrose Avenue, : : : that's what Bowie and Spandau Ballet were : into, : : : and that's what Bauhaus wore at the very : start. : : : New Wave was about being front and center at : : : Ultravox and having Midge Ure hand you the : gray : : : pick he was using to play his gray : Telecaster. : : : New Wave was about seeing Romeo Void, a SF : band, : : : not a Huntington Beach or *Orange County* : band : : : play at The Spirit Club. It was about : watching : : : the Untouchables play their signature : percussion : : : and bass riffs while opening for Burning : : : Sensations, who would go onstage with the : lone : : : guitarist always way over on the right of : the : : : stage with a brimmed hat. New Wave was seeing : The : : : Clash at Golden Hall, the Plimsouls three : : : times,watching 20/20 play "Yellow Pills", : Exene : : : Cervenka of X sharing the mic with you when : they : : : played "We're Desperate" as Billy Zoom wore : his : : : silver leather jacket with and playing his : silver : : : guitar. New Wave was getting your school : locker : : : spit on because you had one sideburn blue and : the : : : other green. New Wave was waiting till two in : the : : : morning to watch Blondie go on Don Kirshner's : : : Rock Concert as some kind of freak side show : as : : : DH lifted the toy robot to the camera, all to : : : give the Led Zeppelin fans something to laugh : : : about. New Wave was when Siouxsie refused to : play : : : the West Coast, calling the entire scene out : here : : : bogus. New Wave started out in black and : white, : : : it then turned into colors. New Wave *turned : : : into* Adam and the Ants, it turned into The : Cars, : : : it turned into the Cure, it turned into Pat : : : Benetar, it turned into trash bags, it turned : : : into a big ass market of sleeveless lavender : : : shirts, skinny leather ties, wearing marching : : : band shoes, and anything that you could buy : at a : : : second hand store. It started as a tribute to : : : something America had in the Sixties before : ten : : : minute long Ted Nugent songs, it turned into : a : : : way for brits with casios to make a quick : buck. I : : : never did see any goddamn bandanas. And...for : the : : : part that you're gonna get force-fed : : : last? "Punker than thou"? Heh... yeah, right, : : : jesus, I fucking have to laugh. I have to : laugh : : : because I know you're full of shit.

And I screamed my ass off : front : : : and center the entire solid show. What in : God's : : : green earth are you talking about?
