If I were interested in really controlling people, I wouldn't waste
time insulting folks on Usenet.

We get along really well. No whips at all.

I think he was contrasting my exaggerated youth with his (admittedly)
exaggerated age.

Callow is indeed an excellent word, and Blake is obviously rather
literate. However it doesn't describe me very well. I'm not going to
go into details, but I've certainly had experiences.
I'm a punk rocker in the sense that that became a self descriptor in
1977. Prior to that I called myself Rock'n Roller. Neither was
dependent upon my making music, but just being hugely into it in a
subculture sort of way: the whole Bewlay Brothers, meta Rock'n Roll
thing, with Mott the Hoople and Lou Reed and the Rolling Stones, Neil
Young...I had thought for a couple of years that the Neil Young song,
Ohio, was at least the first among equals of great songs, but "punk"
took Neil Young and the rest to new levels of socio-political anger,
and I'm not talking about the generalized anger of post punk, but
coherent stuff, like the early Clash singles.
The Bonobos project--which is pretty much over--was a synthesis of all
that.

Anyone who is not familiar with any of the songs on there should seek
them out. Good stuff. I don't really differentiate between them as
being separate genres. There is something there that unifies them.
