I agree with Jello Biafra on Jimmy Carter. He was a lousy president that shifted the Democrats too the right in the 1970s, but he ended up being the most decent former president this country ever had. As for punk rock versus new wave, it is all rock n roll. I love it all: punk rock, new wave, and post punk. Spikey hair and snaraling is as punk rock as wearing skinny ties playing Rickenbackers...
Punk rock, even in its broadest terms, is most definitely NOT 'rock n roll'. All politics aside, the aesthetic differences are rather difficult to overlook. Punk rock is about thrashing out power chords, screaming at the top of your lungs and making damn sure that everyone within a mile or so knows exactly what you're saying and why. Punk rock was spawned precisely because rock and roll wasn't getting the message through. This is why punk rock exists.
@MrMrCosro Well, Patti Smith, Television, and Talking Heads were punk. I even consider the first two Elvis Costello albums punk. It was never a sound, it was an era.
@BucksStudent all those are clearly pop not just in sound but in content. All love songs in typical 50's bubble gum fashion "love you love you baby" "miss you baby, come back" blah blah blah
Interesting, but where's the proof Mr Fripp?
