I＇ll tell you about punk rock. punk rock is a word used by by dilettantes
(audience laughs), and uh, and uh, heartless manipulators (audience
laughs), about music (audience laughs)... that takes up the energies, and
the bodies, and the hearts, and the souls, and the time, and the minds of
young men who give what they have to it, and give everything they have to
it.
and it＇s a, it＇s a term that＇s based on contempt. it＇s a term that＇s based
on based on fashion, style, elitism, satanism and everything that＇s
rotten about rock ＇n＇ roll.
i don＇t know johnny rotten but, but, (audience laughs) i＇m sure, i＇m sure,
he puts as much blood and sweat into what he does as sigmund freud did. you
see, what, what sounds to you like a big load of trashy old noise, is
infact the brilliant music of a genius, myself (audience claps). and that
music is so powerful, that it＇s quite beyond my control and uh, when i＇m in
the grips of it i don＇t feel pleasure and i don＇t feel pain, i just feel no
emotions. do you understand what i＇m talking about? (audience claps)
have you ever, have you ever felt like that, when
you just, when you just, you couldn＇t feel anything
and you don＇t want to either, you know, like that.
do you understand what i＇m saying sir?
