She must be really, really young and ignorant. Either that or I'm an old, old fart. I was watching the music video TV on Saturday morning and this piece of crud came on. It's a pretty ghastly piece of music, but what was worse was the sentiment and the lyrics.Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hairThat had me in stitches. A punk with flowers in their hair? She's talking about hippies, not punks. How did the producer let that through? How did the record label let that one through?
In '77 and '69 revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
I guess getting something that wrong is a way to get yourself known - Lady, it's one thing to lament you were born too late, but eulogising your parent's generation is really creepy, especially when you get it this wrong.

My thoughts exactly, Art.
Makes me feel very old when
punk rock, a phenomenon contempory
with my youth, is so distant
in this girl's mind that it
has been utterly occluded
by the mists of time.
make that "contemporary"
