Punk Ha! Ha! – Mixcloud mix 2

Over the more than 40 years since Punk first was heard,  there has been a lot of discussion and thinking and writing about how punk caused a social shift, a revolution in music, it gave the means of production and distribution to the artists. And you didn’t even need to know three chords to be an artist – you could make up your own chords. Because if nothing else punk has having a bloody good time – hence the title of this episode Punk! Ha ha!
