No, No and No.

― Ken L (Ken L), Thursday, 6 January 2005 21:20 (twenty years ago)

I dunno, I think any old coot who doesn't pretend he's rebellious (O'Reilly disqualified) or do self-deprecating, ironic shit (John Tesh disqualified for playing Black Sabbath on Conan) strikes me as non-punk becoming uber-punk. Safire is a lock.

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 6 January 2005 21:22 (twenty years ago)

but I get that you're looking for punks doing something so atypical that it only reaffirms how much they don't care.

Correct!

Yes, Anthony, but there still has to be something to it that somebody might consider cool, so no.

Please read Matt's post immediately above for the best answer yet. Your answers are as if Quine were the lameass guitarist for a Brokers's Night Out cover band.

Yanni learning enough yoga to suck his own skin flute, eventually quitting the music biz because he's "busy."

What's "non-punk" about self-fellatio? (I'd never heard that about Yanni, btw.)

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Friday, 7 January 2005 03:52 (twenty years ago)

I don't get it either, unless he's referring to the jailhouse meaning of "punk."
