@historyofpunkrock You forgot singer. John and Exene shared vocal duties brilliantly…perhaps to best effect on the nightmarish “Johnny Hit and Run Paulene”, a song that still scares the shit out of me.

Yay X! One of my favorite bands. They should sue Musk for copyright infringement.

As a young punk I thought I was in a youth movement. Wrong. The Ramones were born from 1948 to 1951. Debbie Harry was born in 1945 and is even older than Iggy Pop (1947). Devo's age range is from 1948 to 1954. Billy Zoom of X, 1948.
