Day 30: A song for going (or going back) to school

I love punk with all my heart. The attitude, the raw emotion, the political aspects, the counter-culture, everything.

Except the commercialization.

The Ramones struggled with money. They were popular, sure, but they weren't pulling in cash. Through many tours they stayed in ratty motels, could barely afford food, even though they're one of the most prolific touring bands in history playing more than 2200 shows during their 20 year career.

So, after 4 critically acclaimed but low grossing albums, they started working with Phil Spector to rake in some moolah. Yeah, that guy. With the mad hair and a penchant for murder. Their 5th album, End of the Century, was fully produced by Phil and is one of the first full-fledged pop-punk albums in history. It's..... good. Not great. It's fun. But not emotional.

Fucking Phil Spector. Eugh.

Day 30: A song for going (or going back) to school

No one hated school as much as I did. I literally had fantasies about a report card full of Fs because it would mean I was rebelling as much as I wanted to ๐Ÿคฃ My favorite "class" was recess/lunch. I hated the structure, I hated getting up early, I hated learning anything I wasn't interested in. I guess that's why I liked college. The lyrics don't particularly relate, but the vibe of the song matches my bad attitude fairly well.

Days of high school and different cliques. This video was filmed at my old alma mater.

I'll accept any punishment coming my way if this is considered blasphemous.
I shall risk the blade with a guest host shot.
Iโ€™m going to risk the spanking today
No punishments, just love. Thank you for jumping in ๐Ÿ’•
