I Think Noam Chomsky Is A National

Well, I Don't Think I'll Ever Stop Being Frustrated Or Feel Fulfilled Artistically.

You Have To Be Down Here In The States To Realize Just How Tightly Controlled The Corporate Media Is And How Much They Practise Soviet-style Censorship Through Creative Omission.

In San Francisco, Most Of The Older Activists, Especially At Berkeley, Were Very Hostile Towards Punks. The Music, Certainly, Wasn't Nice And Mellow For Them, And Neither Was Our Look Or Our Attitude. While In Vancouver, The Two Most Important Early Punk Bands, D.o.a. And The Subhumans, Were Both Managed By Former Yippie Activists, Who Saw This As A Logical Extension Of What They Were Already Doing.

My Attitude Is If Somebody Blunders Into The Level Of Popularity; At Least Remember The Human Factor. These Guys Are Still Human Beings And Hopefully Still Have Hearts And If You Keep In Touch With Them Rather Than Vilify Them You May Be Able To Encourage Them To Go In The Right Direction. What I'm Hoping Will Eventually Happen Is That They Will Grasp The Amount Of Power And Financial Clout That Is Now At Their Fingertips And Use Those As Tools To Help Real People With Real Things The Way Punk Politics Was Always Designed To Do Before, But Nobody Had Any Money.

Let Me Start By Saying, I'm Utterly Disgusted With The Former Members Of The Dead Kennedys.
