Att vara hemmapappa är inte speciellt rock’n’roll. Fast å andra sidan var mitt liv tidigare inte speciellt rockigt det heller. Framför allt inte om man jämför med hur riktiga vildar lever sina liv. Jag läser för tillfället Dee Dee Ramones Legend of a Rock Star; the last Testament of… som kom ut strax innan han dog av en heroinöverdos:
”When I’m playing on stage I hold the mike stand down with my foot so I don’t get smashed in the teeth with the mike while I’m singing. This happens because of stage divers who, when they hit the stage, hit it with a belly-flop effect. This bounce makes the mike stand spring at you, so you’ve got to watch out that the mike doesn’t hit you in the teeth. The audience likes to get on the stage the most to sing “Blitzkrieg Bop”. It’s usually male skin. Then he will make the nazi salute to the crowd and shout “hey ho, lets go” into the mike and then either summersault or swan dive back into the crowd as his boots knock into people’s heads.
In front of the stage is always a huge mosh pit. It reminds me of a human meat grinder. The action spreads itself throughout the crowd. A few punks will lock arms together and whirl themselves around the dance floor, spraying beer into the air and smashing and bumping into the other beasts in the pit. This is Punk Rock”

THAT is punk Rock! Att sjunga om en krokodil som spelar trumpet är det inte…
