I love punk music from the 1970s.
People often ask - who started punk?
Iggy? MC5? Television? May be?
I say Johnny Cash.
That man was pissed off for sure.
As I was driving to school tonight, I heard a punk rock version of "Ring of Fire". I'm not sure who the band was, but it rocked.
This confirmed my belief that Mr. Cash was the founder of punk.
And plus, Johnny wore all black way before Lou Reed did.
ps: here's the link to the song by Social Distortion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i2ESgR0FUM
