Re: Hit me with your rhythm stick (npc)



Reasons to be cheerful, my god, I forgot about that.

Dury was one of Punk's finest hours, I think. Or at least one of the few
occasions when modern art rejected the notion of the 'aesthetically
unappealing' in favour of something profoundly humanistic.

What made Punk so great, as far as I'm concerned, is that it wasn't
squeamish. Was it Sandberg or William Carlos Williams who said that the
ugliest word in the English language was the word 'exclusive'?
