THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IN 1980

"I remember when your first album came out and I cranked it up and said punk had its first major artistic statement," declares L.A. City Council member Mitch O'Farrell while honoring the seminal band X on X Day in Los Angeles. "Or maybe I said it was a dangerous and corrupting influence on our youth and should be banned. It was a long time ago." Seen seconding the band's motion that our phone's off the hook but we're not are Grammy Museum stalwart Scott Goldman, O'Farrell, Exene Cervenka, Billy Zoom, John Doe and D.J. Bonebrake.
