Punk Rock

I＇ll  tell  you  about  punk  rock.  punk  rock  is  a  word  used  by  by  dilettantes

(audience  laughs),  and  uh,  and  uh,  heartless  manipulators  (audience

laughs),  about  music  (audience  laughs)...  that  takes  up  the  energies,  and

the  bodies,  and  the  hearts,  and  the  souls,  and  the  time,  and  the  minds  of

young  men  who  give  what  they  have  to  it,  and  give  everything  they  have  to

it.

and  it＇s  a,  it＇s  a  term  that＇s  based  on  contempt.  it＇s  a  term  that＇s  based

on  based  on  fashion,  style,  elitism,  satanism  and  everything  that＇s

rotten  about  rock  ＇n＇  roll.

i  don＇t  know  johnny  rotten  but,  but,  (audience  laughs)  i＇m  sure,  i＇m  sure,

he  puts  as  much  blood  and  sweat  into  what  he  does  as  sigmund  freud  did.  you

see,  what,  what  sounds  to  you  like  a  big  load  of  trashy  old  noise,  is

infact  the  brilliant  music  of  a  genius,  myself  (audience  claps).  and  that

music  is  so  powerful,  that  it＇s  quite  beyond  my  control  and  uh,  when  i＇m  in

the  grips  of  it  i  don＇t  feel  pleasure  and  i  don＇t  feel  pain,  i  just  feel  no

emotions.  do  you  understand  what  i＇m  talking  about?  (audience  claps)

have  you  ever,  have  you  ever  felt  like  that,  when

you  just,  when  you  just,  you  couldn＇t  feel  anything

and  you  don＇t  want  to  either,  you  know,  like  that.

do  you  understand  what  i＇m  saying  sir?
