James, you know you don't want me to. If applying Gandhi's more famous statements or common political theory is beyond you, you'd do precious little with my thoughts...

I thought punk clothing was "ripped"-off from Richard Hell rather than Les McKeown.

Couldn't you just have cited the source (like I did) instead of making us go searching?paint it black wrote:@stu 30seconds on google

Anyway, the only relevant one in that article earlier than 1970 is the Lesterr Bangs MC5 review from 1969, where he describes them as "16 year old punks". "Punk" was already a common American term for "young ruffians" or "inexperienced boys" and, while that quote was about a band I'm not sure that it's talking about the music as such ie it's not defining them as "punk rock" or anything similar, just as uncouth. But maybe that review had an influence on others using it to describe the music or style. Anyone able to establish a connection?
