PROTO_PUNK

A lot of the stuff I was
listening to in the early
70s seems like precursors 
of the later punk stuff.

Some of it is obvious, like 
The Who's "Live at Leeds".


Other's aren't
recognized as "punk"
though they seem
like that to me...

For example 
John Lennon's
first solo album:  

A lot of very stark
hammering on the
piano with lyrics             On the other hand, I also  
doing a retreat into          had an inexplicable        
a bleak/tough/cynical         fondness for very minor    
territory.                    Johnathan Sebastian albums,
                              so don't take my proto-punk
                              posing too seriously.     
                                                        
                                                        
                                        (Remind me to sing  
                                        "Rooty-toot Baby"   
                                        for you some time,  
                                        should this point   
                                        need reinforcement.)
