Franco Twinkie:

Chresti and I were remembering how much super fast fusion jazz rock was was ruling the roost in the early to mid seventies. Then punk happened, which was fun and exiting, but all of a sudden certain people were taking a Pol Pot back to year zero attitude, and trying to pretend all this music never happened. It was weird times for sure.

coelacanth∅:

"moge" (like rogue) is correct.
  9:52pm
Dean:

I kinda have this feeling that the punk-was-a-reaction-to-prog (fusion, etc.) was made up by, naturally, stupid media people. I remember mid- to late-'70s hanging with people into the Dolls, Iggy, Ramones, and Yes, Pink Floyd, Le Orme, Guru Guru...
  9:54pm
Dean:

OTOH, punk was definitely a reaction to Styx.

I was listening to Commander Cody round the same time as Weather Report. etc.

chresti:

I remember being at the masque where there would be these attacks on anyone with long hair
  9:58pm
Dean:

@chresti: Really? I was at the Masque quite a bit. I don't recall anything of the sort. One of the qualities of the LA punk scene, to my mind, was its inclusiveness (which might simply have been a function of its I-dont'-give-a-shit-ness).
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:58pm
Franco Twinkie:

Sam, who knows. But I will say this; having seen Lowell many times, he was so versatile, I wouldn't be surprised if he could play bongo drums standing on his head while eating a cheeseburger.
  9:58pm
chresti:

There would be shouts of “Cut his hair!”
  9:59pm

This is GREAT
  9:59pm
Dean:

Yeah, but serious? What I remember are the ubiquitous references to "Jerry." Who the fuck was Jerry?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:59pm

for me punk was just something with passion at a time when all my favorite bands had run out of it. i still, alongside punk, liked what i liked before.
Avatar 10:02pm
TDK60:

I was a longhair but also later got into punk/ noowave/ postpunk/ etc. But I still liked older stuff.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:02pm

i rebelled by NOT cutting my hair.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:02pm
Franco Twinkie:

Dean, It all depends on what group you happened to be in the orbit of. Some were smart and funny, others self important talentless creeps.
  10:05pm
Dean:

Much like America, Franco.

Right, coelacanth, I felt no significant pressure to get in line, but for me that was because I didn't sense a strong prescription to do so. My group was Flipside, for whom I worked during the early days. Al, X-8, Pooch, etc., those guys were great.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:05pm
coelacanth∅:

i was in a punk band and i thought the 2 guitarists, who had both grown their hair very long after meeting already long-haired me 2 years earlier, were pathetically conformist to get crew cuts as they did.
Avatar 10:08pm
TDK60:

I remember when '80s Calif. hardcore punk bands like Black Flag or M.D.C. grew their hair just to mess with a perceived punk conformity in hair/dress.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:09pm
Franco Twinkie:

Dean, the Jerry reference was to Jerry Lewis. It started with Geza X using Jerry Lewis as a standard of self debasement. If you could act like Jerry in public, you passed the test.
  10:10pm
Dean:

That's marvelous, Franco. So many references on the Masque walls to Jerry.

I'm assuming we passed the test, because the first time we played there Brendan introduced as "the ultimate in embarrassment rock."
Avatar 10:11pm
TDK60:

But it was also musical. The Minutemen took shit for not sounding "punk." They replied: it is our punk.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:11pm
Franco Twinkie:

You passed.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:16pm
coelacanth∅:

TDK right, and long before that (in the context of punk) ramones had long hair, and their music sounded like raw beach boys music. only their irreverent image and silly lyrics made them "punk".
  10:17pm
Dean:

My experience of the punk scene in LA focuses (almost exclusively) on those couple of years in the late '70s, so I can understand why The Minutemen might have been criticized for riding the wave. Punk was a scene, not so much a genre (hence The Screamers, who are not easy to assign to a category at all, or The Quick, who happened to emerge at the same time). For me, punk was those two or three short years, nothing more.
  10:19pm
Dean:

I say "almost exclusively" because, goddamn, Claw Hammer were amazing and would have fit perfectly into LA punk.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:21pm
coelacanth∅:

in nj, at least, there was a wealth of punk bands - and a scene- for a few years into the 80s, even after all the famous punk bands had turned to shit, died or disbanded.

For me, the best year in punk was 1977 because a lot of people were still trying to figure out what it was, musically and other wise. Backwards pants? Why not! Raw liver taped to your head? Front of the line mister!
  10:24pm
chresti:

The punk hair style concern was brief, like in early 77
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:29pm

i only tuned in to punk around the winter of 1978, and i might consider that my favorite year for "punk &/or new wave" music; though some great punk music goes back several years before that.
  10:34pm

Spring '76 for me. Heard about the Pistols, went to London later that year. I was hooked.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:38pm

When I saw The Patti Smith Group in early '76 it was a wake up call that something was up. But I had no idea that I was just seeing the storm front moving in.

I will tell my sad Patti Smith tale again around this fire....or hay bale. Symphony Hall, Boston, 1976. Sparks opened, and after their set, Patti was barely a couple songs into hers when a member of our party, having a bad night with his girlfriend, prevailed upon us in his ill temper to LEAVE! Walked out...and into decades of regret. Saw her again briefly at Boston First Night a few years ago. Meh.

Coel, I didn't realize you were so young! I can see why punk was so important to you. My feeling at the time was 'I don't care if this turns out to be the biggest bunch of nothing. It looks like fun and I want some!' Of course it wasn't nothing,and ultimately was a pivotal point in pop music.

I left the Boston area in '77 for smaller cities -- and more musically limited media markets -- in midwest and then Texas for school and then work, and missed most of punk shortly after it had started rising. Home again just for summer of 78, I did catch a couple acts and put some Pistols on a mix tape.

A couple high school students thought I was younger than what I reported and said they "couldn't believe" my actual age recently. And, yes, it pushed a li'l button of ego, though how good are teenagers at accurate adult age estimates anyway?

My personal "If only..." story: After one of my bands played the Masque on Santa Monica Blvd., I got a call from either Marc or Stan from Wall of Voodoo. He asked us to open for them at Hong Kong Cafe (or maybe Madame Wong's?). We said yes, but broke up that week. Oh, well.

i had a radical friend who used to rant to the annoyance of many while we listened to old Dylan and doors and Phil Ochs and 'airplane (etc) then in the beginning of 10th grade he moved to branchberg - a very racist, anti-progressive nj town. a few months later he came back to visit - a full-on punk! turned me on to the clash and stiff little fingers and buzzcocks and i don't remember who else but he left the clash album with me.

Yes, nostalgia is strong. But I did appreciate the vibe, independent of the music, in a way that informs my experience of history. It was a special time.

I didn't know The Eyes, but I saw them a couple times at the Masque. They were spectacular, in my opinion far superior to the bands they spawned, X and Go-Go's. (We called our band M, because X is such a cheesy name for a band. To my mind, X portended the decline of LA punk.)

X, like The Doors before them, make peoples blood boil. Love 'um or hate'um, they cast a long shadow.

i cant stand la's x's female vocals. some of the music is okay, but it's ruined by her terrible singing and their terrible harmonies.

Dean:

Charlotte definitely knew what she was doing. (She, too, appears in that contact sheet spread in Brendan's book, as does Belinda.)
