That was a line in a book I was reading. It rang a strong bell, but I couldn't place it. In the story, a punk rocker was saying it after an unlikely dispersal of an alien with a guitar chord. But who was that? Who said that? Oh right...
In many ways, Woody Guthrie was the original punk rocker. He didn't really align himself with right or left (although these days he'd be squarely on the left I think) but he knew when he didn't like something. He could sniff out corporitism and crony capitalism at its worst. We need more Woody Guthries than we do John Lydons...
