\nand some of the comments here, yer actual \u2018anarcho-punks\u2019 were a younger generation who picked up on punk as teens\/pre-teens from 1978 onwards.<\/p>\nPuppies like myself were of the glam generation.\u00a0 For kids who grew up\u00a0 in the sixties (like Sid Vicious – born 1957, a year before me\u00a0 – and his 1967\u00a0 summer of love \/Action Man quote \u201cI didn’t even know the Summer of Love was happening. I was too busy playing with my Action Man\u201d) glam rock was our first love- Bolan, Bowie, Roxy Music, Lou Reed (Transformer), Cockney Rebel . We came of age in 1976 – and our punk was glammed up rather than crassed down. The New York Dolls would be our link\u00a0 from glam to punk – although some of us- (well me at least) went through a prog rock phase – Hawkwind,\u00a0 ELP. Yes, Genesis, Van Der Graff Generator in the gap between glam and punk. And David Bowie\u2019s 1974 \u2018Diamond Dogs\u2019 with its 1984 theme prefigured Crass\u2026This ain\u2019t rocknroll. this is genocide!<\/p>\n
And in the death
\nAs the last few corpses lay rotting on the slimy thoroughfare
\nThe shutters lifted in inches in Temperance Building
\nHigh on Poacher’s Hill
\nAnd red mutant eyes gaze down on Hunger City
\nNo more big wheels<\/p>\n
Fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats
\nAnd ten thousand peoploids split into small tribes
\nCoveting the highest of the sterile skyscrapers
\nLike packs of dogs assaulting the glass fronts of Love-Me Avenue
\nRipping and rewrapping mink and shiny silver fox, now legwarmers
\nFamily badge of sapphire and cracked emerald
\nAny day now \u2026The Year of the Diamond Dogs<\/p>\n
Oh caress yourself, my juicy
\nFor my hands have all but withered
\nOh dress yourself my urchin one, for I hear them on the stairs
\nBecause of all we’ve seen, because of all we’ve said
\nWe are the dead
\nWe are the dead
\nWe are the dead<\/p>\n
The Apostles this ain\u2019t . Too decadent (in all our decadence people die).<\/p>\n
Which in the end is my point. I love KYPP online, I love it to death (another glam \/ Alice Cooper quote)\u2026 but let us not forget the ambiguities of our gothic punk heritage which conflict with the certainties of our anarchist punk perceptions. Black\u00a0 clad we were not, glam punks we were.<\/p>\n
Rebel Pet Puppies – Hot tramps- I love you so!<\/p>\n
You’ve got your mother in a whirl
\nShe’s not sure if you’re a boy or a girl
\nHey babe, your hair’s alright
\nHey babe, let’s go out tonight
\nYou like me, and I like it all
\nWe like dancing and we look divine
\nYou love bands when they’re playing hard
\nYou want more and you want it fast
\nThey put you down, they say I’m wrong
\nYou tacky thing, you put them on<\/p>\n
Rebel Rebel, you’ve torn your dress
\nRebel Rebel, your face is a mess
\nRebel Rebel, how could they know?
\nHot tramp, I love you so!<\/p>\n
In all our decadence\u00a0 we shall live again…<\/p>\n
