    Aside from The Ramones the old punk bands do very little for me. When you read current articles on them now they are 45, fat and bitter that they never became Green Day. They also spew forth what is and isn't punk. Kind of sad if you ask me.

    Great band, got 3 of their albums, very politically charged lyrics. I think Jello Biafra rubbed a lot of peoples noses up the wrong way....

    Efficiency and progress is ours once more
    Now that we have the Neutron bomb
    It's nice and quick and clean and gets things done
    Away with excess enemy
    But no less value to property
    No sense in war but perfect sense at home:

    The sun beams down on a brand new day
    No more welfare tax to pay
    Unsightly slums gone up in flashing light
    Jobless millions whisked away
    At last we have more room to play
    All systems go to kill the poor tonight

    Gonna
    Kill kill kill kill Kill the poor tonight

    Behold the sparkle of champagne
    The crime rate's gone
    Feel free again
    O' life's a dream with you, Miss Lily White
    Jane Fonda on the screen today
    Convinced the liberals it's okay
    So let's get dressed and dance away the night

    While they:
    Kill kill kill kill Kill the poor tonight
    I am so amazingly cool you could keep a side of meat in me for a month.

    Depends. Jello really defined the DK's for me. I wouldn't say the band touring with that name now is the Dead Kennedys.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    my guess is no punk bands from the 70's wish they were Green Day since they aren't really punk. punk bands didn't want to be popular, they just wanted to play kick ass shows and say whatever they wanted to say.

    the fat-bald thing can go for anyone in their late 40's and up. that has nothing to do with being in a punk band 30 years ago.

    What goes on?
