[kj] OT - QUICK Q'ESTION

[folk devil]

Punk was the marketing term.
 
What about Manchester (Buzzcocks/Slaughter and the dogs/ Drones) Leeds (the Boys / Mekons), Australia (the Saints)?
 
British punk started in the North. Just like rave. London is where it was sold.

If they weren't in the Bromely contingency, or mates of them around London, then...?  It was as brutal as that, Alex.  Punk was a London clique and everything else such as the majesty of The Skids in Fife and Stiff Little Fingers in Ireland, came parallel or after.  Mind you, 'after' was a matter of months, which surely defines the delineation in question?
 
 
 
Funny you should all mention Chrissie Hynde.  Sister in law told me this week that when she was single and had her own basement flat in Earls Court back in the 90's, she had an epic New Years Eve party.  About 100 odd people came, and someone stole all her cosmetics...could it have been a certain smacked - up looking old raver sitting there amongst it all?  Yeah, her entire cosmetics arsenal.  No, not Beth Orton who attended and looked okay.  Missie Chrissie herself was there.  Friend of friends etc.  
 
Got Revlon, in pocket, 
got scabs, I'm gonna use it?
