I agree that what happened in 76-83 was rather special but I keep meeting people who are as devoted to those bands as if they were still active. Legacy is a word I keep using too...and provided a lot of the impetus for doing the blog. Cheers Tim Kara,

For the most part, music and fashion and whatever other means by which we kids identified ourselves was all pretty bland. But when I heard the Clash I thought "holy shit balls, this is where it's at." I would watch videos of the Clash, Ramones, Pistols, etc performing at the beginning of their careers and I was overcome with the weird sense of..."dammit I should have been born then!!!!!!!!!! They are having fun, taking risks, they don't care?!" But we can't help when or where we are born, right? At least these artists left a legacy to help ignite the boring flames (ok, more like ashes) within the next genreation. Yeah, so I was born in 1981 and didn’t discover the Clash until the mid 90s.
