Pass the punk zimmer
In my youth I was a punk not an original from the 1st wave in 77 I'm not that old (but I listened to the music and loved it). It was bands like the Dead Kennedys, DRI, Exploited, Subhumans, Butthole Surfers and the misfits that I flung myself around mosh pits to all night long. I loved it.

Many years have passed, my hair is still spiky (I'd have killed for the modern gel back then) not thinning but greying. My stomach is rounder and I could probably fill an A cup bra. But I still listen to punk.

A while back the Dead Kennedys did a tour. Okay it was minus Jello Biafra but I still had to go with my old moshing pall Jim. At the gig we are waiting down the front for the gig to start with a bunch of 30-40 year olds all sporting faded old punk T-shirts and paunches. The DK's come on and launch into Police Truck. We all go mental. Then have a little breather to one side. Go mental again. Have a little breather. Go mental .....Ah maybe we'll just watch.

There was plenty of younger guys moshing because kick ass music never dies.

My mate's a dyed-in-the wool, been-there-done-that punk.
He doesn't even claim to have been at the Hundred Club when the Sex Pistols first played there or anything - he's the real deal.

He was offered a free ticket to the Filthy Lucre gig at Finsbury Park, and declined it as he said he wouldn't be able to handle it, and I can see why - I managed to stomach five minutes of it on the telly the other day and nearly killed myself.
