Being LA patriot, he maybe puts NY bands down a bit to much, but whats important is acknowledgment of significant 70s punk figure, that 60s garage/punk and 70s punk is basically the same. And that "rocknroll" and "punk" are very related.
Though I think garageads will not like how much credit he gives to Jimbo.
"Punk in all three places (LA, NY, London) was basically a '60s garage-rock revival by '70s kids dressed in different threads with help from slightly older disillusioned media-savvy hippies who created the 'zines and mass-marketed the home-made customized clothing the kids created back to them."
"Some amazing, amazing music got created, some of my all-time favorite rock songs came out of punk rock -- some of the best I heard throughout my whole life of listening to rock 'n' roll. I've been listening as a keen fanatic for more than 40 years now, and I'm sorry, but I still think of punk as nothing but kick-ass rock 'n' roll.... I can't buy into the theory that punk was something completely new and original that supplanted all rock 'n roll before it, although I'm very aware there's many hardcore thrashheads out there who'd vehemently disagree."
