First gig I ever went to; Wizzard, Kettering Gaumont, 1973, age 12. Was taken by a friends Mum. The first of many and a life long passion......... The feeling you get from walking into a gig and a football ground are very similar. Can't beat the adrenalin and anticipation.:yes:

Sadly both have become homogenised and sanitised compared to the glory days of the 70's

You would hope that intelligent people would attempt to investigate and understand the context, as we have, before forming an opinion and passing any sort of judgement.

On reflection, I always thought the use of the swastika and Nazi imagery purely for shock value by some early punks was misguided.

The word outrage is much overused by modern society. Interesting Art should demand analysis and discussion IMO.
 
Never liked The Cure. Witton Lane (Mike) used to love them. I would often tell him how wrong he was!
