2. Okay--somebody smack this little snot.

"You know what's so gay is, like, all these journalists are, like (saying in faux hushed reverence), 'Avril Lavigne's punk and she's a rebel and she does punk rock music,"' Lavigne, 19, said in a recent interview, using the word gay as a slang synonym for stupid.

"It's like, 'OK, how stupid are you? ... Do you even know what punk is?' I am certainly not punk, and I hate it when people try to say that I am."

Anybody who uses gay as an insult for stupid really pisses me off.

3. She's right about one thing...

She isn't punk.

I haven't heard the latest Avril CD, but I heard "Skater Boi" and it's not a punk song. It's a catchy little pop tune that has a good beat and you can dance to it.

Throw in "Dear Abby" by the Dead Kennedys...that's a punk song.

Dear Abby,

Got a problem.
I'm a decent, underpaid, hardworking county coroner.
It's important that my family eat meat at least three times a week.
But we just can't afford to with the prices the way they are.
So I bring home choice cuts from my autopsy subjects.
Just mix in the Tuna Helper: and ta-da!

The whole family thinks my new meals are delicious.
They ask me what's my secret.
Abby, I think they're getting suspicious.
My smart-ass 8-year-old keeps asking, "Where's all the meat?
The red dye #2 kind that's kept in the fridge."

If they find out the truth I don't think they'll understand.
Abby, what do I tell my family?

DEAR REAGANOMICS VICTIM: Consult your clergyman.
Make sure the body's blessed and everything should be just fine.

Now that's a fuckin' Punk Song!

4. Or My Fav...

Holiday In Cambodia

So you been to school for a year or two
And you know you've seen it all
In daddy's car thinkin' you'll go far
Back east your type don't crawl
Play ethnicky jazz to parade your snazz
On your five grand stereo
Braggin that you know how the niggers feel cold
And the slums got so much soul

It's time to taste what you most fear
Right Guard will not help you here
Brace yourself, my dear

It's a holiday in Cambodia
It's tough kid, but it's life
It's a holiday in Cambodia
Don't forget to pack a wife

Your a star-belly sneech you suck like a leech
You want everyone to act like you
Kiss ass while you bitch so you can get rich
But your boss gets richer on you
Well you'll work harder with a gun in your back
For a bowl of rice a day
Slave for soldiers til you starve
Then your head skewered on a stake
Now you can go where people are one
Now you can go where they get things done
What you need my son:

Is a holiday in Cambodia
Where people dress in black
A holiday in Cambodia
Where you'll kiss ass or crack

Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot

And it's a holiday in Cambodia
Where you'll do what you're told
A holiday in Cambodia
Where the slums got so much soul

Corporate punk is an oxymoron. The only decent almost-big-label punk I've come across recently is some of the stuff from Hellcat Records like Lars Fredriksen and the Bastards.

5. Yup, punk never got more intense than the DK's...

I remember seeing them right after Fresh Fruit came out...amazing! "This one's for you Alexander Haig" as Jello careens into "Kill the Poor"...

Is there ANY punk being made currently with this kind of intensity?
