Billie Joe showed off his "dookie" to the audience when they were here supporting the album of the same name.
The prepubescents should probably have stuck to the circus, but for the mid teens and later... have at it. My first arena concert was spent inhaling second hand weed haze and involved me being punched in the mouth... and all the little firetrap punk venues I've been in... if I'd kept the teeth I'd collected from the pits, I'd have a fine necklace.
To quote NOFX:
"Lost in a sea of combat boots,
flush the bouncers with wasted youth
When did punk rock become so safe?
When did the scene become a joke?
The kids who used to live for beer and speed
now want their fries and coke
Cursing and flipping birds are not allowed,
in fact let's keep noise levels down
(...)
I want conflict! I want dissent!
I want the scene to represent...
Our hatred of authority,
our fight against complacency
stop singing songs about girls and love!
You killed the owl! You freed the dove!
confrontation and politics...
Replaced with harmonies and shticks
When did punk rock become so tame?
These f***ing bands all sound the same
We want our fights we want our thugs!
We want our burns we want our drugs!
where is the violent apathy?!
These f***ing records are rated G!"
