Do You Remember Punk Rock?
If you were around in the 1970s, you might. Like most genres of music, punk has no definite beginning, but it can be said properly to have been launched on the world at the beginning of December 1976. The Sex Pistols were formed in 1975, but although they were signed by EMI in October 1976, it was the evening of December 1 that sealed their infamy when they appeared live on the Independent Television Today programme, a regional news round up for London.
Some People-- Say 37% Of American Registered Voters-- Are Comforted By Fascism's Orderly Nature... And The F Scale
"Making the trains run on time" has long been a kind of excuse for supporting the neatness of authoritarian rule. There were-- until Pearl Harbor-- lots of Americans who enthusiastically and openly supported fascism. In 1933 a Nazi from organization, Friends of New Germany, was active in New York and Chicago, spreading fascist propaganda. Two years later it morphed into the German American Bund, led by Fritz Julius Kuhn, a nationalized American-- like Trump's grandfather. It was most active in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
