When Punk was Dead

hahahaha!!!! akamaisondufromage indeed that does not sound pleasant. Why would one go through so much effort to make it worse is beyond me Oh gawd that was awful

On a related note: That entire "scene" seems to be going through something of a revival right now with quite a few new groups having popped up that attempt both its noisier more abrasive side (e. g. Iceage, Savages) and dreamy psychedelic side. (e. g. Warpaint)

Girls called Eileen aren't as keen on it as you'd at first think. Dean, I found a great article/interview with Rick Wakeman in reference to this punk topic and also proclaiming himself as Grumpy, ha he must be your Brotherrin Here is the article: http://www.theguardian.com/culture/2014/jan/08/rick-wakeman-interview-prog-rock-punk hugs xx There was a BBC TV series called Grumpy Old Men that had a number of well-known middle-aged men talking about any issues of modern life which irritate them. <span style="line-height: 1.2;">Wakeman was a major contributor to the programme and following his success on that named the latest two volumes of his autobiography after the show. </span><span style="line-height: 1.2;">For the many British middle-aged men moaning about modern life is a national pastime and I am not immune, as Rick says grumpy is funny, angry is not nice, I am never (well mostly never) angry, I like to think I'm funniest when I'm grumpy (I'm having laugh anyway).</span> <span style="line-height: 1.2;"></span> <span style="line-height: 1.2;">Anyway, here is the grumpy old rock star in fine form: </span>

hahahahaha! Dean! hahahaha! Never seen this before and even I can relate to what he says hahaha!!! Love it! hahaha!!!
Oh yes that's it Dean, I call you grumpy because you even if you don't intent and try to be serious you are so nice thus comes out funny lol besides that you never are spiteful nor self-righteous, I speak from experience here too, i.e. the patience you have for me and my oops moments are quite amazing really :) Also true what you say at times your responses, your calm attitude (grumpy in a funny humoristic way, even if at times you don't realize how funny it might sound to us, because you are being serious)you are kind and most entertaining really, besides you are a real nice person.     a huge hug to you xxx
