According to Dangerous Minds: In this fine documentary directed by Don Letts (who knows a thing or
two about punk rock) a bunch of aging punkers talk about the roots of
the punk scene and their love of the music they make. There’s not much
new here but it’s good to see Steve Jones, Pete Shelley, Howard Devoto,
Siouxsie Sioux, Captain Sensible, Mick Jones Jones,David Johansen, Jello
Biafra, Wayne Kramer, Thurston Moore, Legs McNeil and Tommy Ramone,
among many others, wax poetic about the music explosion that was
detonated in the mid-70s. It’s amazing how many survived. And deeply
saddening that since this film was made in 2005 we’re down to zero
original Ramones.
“Punk is not mohawks and safety pins. It’s an attitude and a spirit, with a lineage and tradition.” Don Letts.
