We Destroy the Family: Punks vs Parents (2 of 3) 1982

I think LA's KABC won some award with this short documentary on how punk rock is destroying families -- somehow missing the point that family dysfunction is the culprit, not Lee Ving. Nice shots of a Fear concert. This ran as a week-long 5-part special report on the KABC-TV news, and then ran alone late one night as an expanded special.

@Stryker37573 I don't know, I think the go gos just evolved into good quality hard rock that was punked up. just like billy idol did. to me that was good mainstream music, which the 80s had a lot of.

i don't think they sold out per se but you clearly disagree, so we will just have to disagree on that. I DO think they ruined one song by slowing it down. it sounded better fast when they rewrote it.

@pjaydk88 At 4:45 he's singing along to "Fight War, Not Wars" by Crass. I think that song was on a popular punk compilation album at the time.
