Punk not dead and a song of the day

Nope. Punk is now part of the establishment. The Clash has already been inducted into the Rock -N- Roll Hall of Fame, and now the Sex Pistols just their nod. Johnny "Rotten" Lydon has turned down the honor.

Wow. A punk rock band that stands for it's values? They MUST be old school. These new acts would trade their left nut for that kind of kudos.

Well, many many years ago, my first band would mess around a little with a little Sex Pistols. Hell, everyone loved that ANARCHY IN THE UK thing. I remember this dude Victor Green would come to the studio with us sometimes. We'd Go into a little Anarchy ane he'd grad the mic and rock out. The song was built for it. Energetic. Fun...

Anarchy In The U.K.
by the Sex Pistols

Right! Now ha ha ha...

I am an antichrist
I am an anarchist
Don't know what I want
But I know how to get it
I wanna destroy the passerby

'Cause I wanna be Anarchy
Now don't worry

Anarchy for the UK
It's coming sometime and maybe
I give a wrong time stop a traffic line
Your future dream is a shopping scheme

'Cause I wanna be Anarchy
In the city

How many ways to get what you want
I use the best
I use the rest
I use the N.M.E
I use Anarchy

'Cause I wanna be Anarchy
It's the only way to be

Is this the M.P.L.A or
Is this the U.D.A or
Is this the I.R.A
I thought it was the UK
Or just another country
Another council tenancy

I wanna be Anarchy
And I wanna be Anarchy
(Oh what a name)

And I wanna be an anarchist
(I get pissed, destroy!)
