Love in the time of Punk
I just watched the phenomenal movie "Sid and Nancy", detailing the raw and misunderstood relationship between Sid Vicious, talent less bass-player for the Sex Pistols, and Nancy, a drugged-up groupie. Gary Oldman clearly captured the nihilism and the anarchy that built the punk ethos; his bravado here is only rivaled by his portrayal of Sid Vicious in the film "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead". It is interesting to compare the punks of the late 60's, early 70's with today's punks, and realize that they have been sissified. For example, Avril Lavigne, who is not a punk, but I will take as an example to show how un-punk today's so-called punks are.
