[kj] ot new york hadfirst punks,sorry mik ;)

[Mik]

Exactly the point I was trying to get across. I once had someone tell me the
kinks were the first punk band. Its just a matter of what you personally
consider to be punk

Iggy, Dead Boys, MC5 all originally from Midwest. MC5 = "Motor City 5." 
"Motor City" = Detroit, not NYC.

But, yes, this is an endleslly contentious debate, and a lot of it 
depends on when you want to arbitrarily say punk began. I know a lot of 
historians/writers/critics say 1975, which I think is about right, 
everything else ebing even (which it isn't). There are people who will 
say Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash were "punk" in 1950s, and the Punk 365 
opens with Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators (Austin, TX) and 
other '66 garage bands, etc., but this is all because the term "punk" 
has become so elastic as to be applied to almost anything.
