    What is Punk?

    The point is that rock n roll and punk rock (and by this i mean iggy and the such) is the ultimate popularist art form, democracy in action, because it's true anybody can do it. Learn three chords on a guitar and you've got it. For performing rock n roll or punk rock or call it any damn thing...
