Things I didn't think I'd ever hear.

So went to see Billy Idol last night ( not just me you understand, but a crowd of paying people) and while doing a talking bit, as they do, he mentions his grandkids, bloody hell Billy Idol has grandkids, time has flown by since the punk days.

That's a challenge, most shit punk band that people may have heard of, Sham 69 is a very strong start, I remember Jimmy Purcey having to run off stage after telling a crowd of skin heads not to be racist.

I'll go with Cockney Rejects, Cockney Fuckwits would have been more accurate.

I liked C.I.D by UK subs. Sounds of the Suburbs by the members. Skids Into the valley. Its probably the catchy riffs that got me.
