As friends have kids and their kids have kids, I found myself passing on this pick more and more. Having lived this era, and loving the music, I want to pass it on. This introductory guide is my way of doing it. The rules were simple. It had to be punk (all aspects of punk was fine), it could not be rated beyond PG and the songs had to be some of my favorites, of course. This is the playlist I picked. They are tracks that kids (and adults) like. They cover enough punk to generate an interest to explore further. But not too much to scare anyone away. I hope you like it enough to share this pick with your kids (or grandkids) when it becomes time. PS: The cover had to be a PeeChee folder. Enjoy discovering things on there as well. I love the runner with a mohawk. That was me.

ReplyDeleteI can't think of a single PeeChee that I ever had that didn't get covered with "art"
