Billy Joel, everyone! We can all agree that he really deserves his place there, too.

The Shit they Used To Play On the Radio Hall of Fame

Ah, okay. Vicious was working class, too, I presume? In constrast, there's Strummer: his dad was, if I recall correctly, a mid-tier bureaucrat in the Foreign Office. But his records were way better, so I don't care what his da did.

Certainly not all the Indians who cover their temples with swastikas are Nazis.

Can't he just use Plenty of Fish?

Too punk to use periods, man.

If you love her, lube her.

I apply that test to to every single American and I don't feel bad about it. Some shit is beyond the pale. Yes, I'm sure that so-and-so is a nice guy and has a family, but that describes most people. Some shit's beyond the pale though, and voting from Trump is in that category for me. You think that's being…

His vocal performance is the best thing about it, by far. The production is awful and the band mistakes not being able to play their instruments with writing parts so stripped-down that even people who couldn't play instruments could play them. Big difference, there.

Arguments from marriage equality have been made from the conservative side of the aisle, as have arguments for environmentalism. Plenty of Yankee Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act. A political and personal outlook doesn't always dictate someone's specific political views.

He's a very sincere guy. You can hear it in his voice.

I'm not gonna go smash a window or anything, and it doesn't ruin my day, but let's just say that voters or people who don't benefit directly from a Trump presidency (coal miners, Trump family members) get put into two categories: "unutterably stupid idiots" and "weak-souled quislings."

Aren't most punks, though?

It's a constant temptation to think that all conservatives are xenophobes or nostalgists. I don't think that this is true. I think there are some conservatives whose interest is to genuinely want to preserve the best of our traditions while keeping notions of "progress" from going as wrong as they often have in the…

Paul Cook and Steve Jones were actual proles, but I don't know about Lydon. Wasn't he an art school kid, anyway?
