Or one o...That's certainly what punk is there for. Or one of the many good reasons anyway. It's been how ever many years and I'm still missing The Clash.<BR/><BR/>But there has always been a lot of things out there that the system would just as soon have you not listen to. I think they'd prefer you be less awake to this shit.

If I hadn't found punk, I probably wouldn't be as awake to all this shit as I am. :)michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14478211558607408154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1913032626561096562.post-60139105932481282252008-06-13T14:02:00.000-07:002008-06-13T14:02:00.000-07:00I couldn't agree with you more. Capitalism outwei...I couldn't agree with you more. Capitalism outweighs everything else in our society. It's the corporations that own our society and run our country. At the end of the day, everything is a ploy to get people to buy a product.<BR/><BR/>I remember growing up in the 90s and I remember the 2 Live Crew nonsense. They had a small following until certain groups of people started raising hell over the group and its lyrics.<BR/><BR/>It was interesting because that whole movement gave birth to the ridiculous 'parental advisory' labels that they started tagging every record with. Growing up at that time, I remember not being interested in a record UNLESS it had the label.<BR/><BR/>Was society really trying to protect its youth, as it professed to us on a daily basis? Or did they find a way to make records more attractive to certain groups of people? And, for that matter, did they want to protect all youth from the violent messages, or just the youth of certain classes within our society while they secretly hoped other groups in other classes embraced it wholeheartedly?<BR/><BR/>I like your message a lot here. Keep up the good work!Tights Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12796222626711359579noreply@blogger.com
