When I think of say London or LA, I think of two or three great bands and lots of third-rate copycatism going on... that's something you can never accuse the folks at CB's of. Punk shouldn't be a strict code - the whole point is illustrated by the Bowery bunch.
I agree & I also thought the Sic F**ks with Tish & Snookie were fun as well.
...Besides I'm a huge fan of the afore mentioned Johnny Thunders (although I only got to see him once)
