Coast to Coast Chaos: New York and LA Spark the American Punk Revolution (Part Two)

America's Punk movement was started on both coasts.  Early proto-punks like the MC5 and the New York Dolls were followed by a number of other early iconic acts who played at several New York clubs, including CBGB's (Country Blue Grass and Blues), such as the The Ramones, the Talking Heads, Blondie, and Patti Smith.  Meanwhile, LA and San Francisco had a decidedly more political movement propelled by bands like X, The Dead Kennedy's, and Black Flag.  These bands had more in common musically with UK groups like the Sex Pistols and the Clash.  In this episode, you'll see how the Punk Movement on both coasts continued to develop in the early 1980s, and you'll see what made these bands so utterly unique.  You won't want to miss a minute!In This EpisodeThe Ramones – Beat on the BratThe Ramones – Rock and Roll High SchoolU2 – The Miracle of Joey RamoneThe Ramones Family – Grammy AwardsThe Talking Heads – Psycho KillerThe Talking Heads – Once in a LifetimeThe Talking Heads – Burning Down the HouseDavid Byrne Interview – David LettermanBlondie – Hanging on the TelephoneBlondie – One Way or AnotherPatti Smith – GloriaPatti Smith – InterviewPatti Smith – Piss FactoryThe Dead Kennedy’s – Holiday in CambodiaThe Dead Kennedy’s – Kill the PoorJello Biafra – PMRC Interview (Parent’s Music Resources Council)Black Flag – Rise AboveBlag Flag – DepressionX – Los AngelesX – Johnny Hit and Run PaulineThe Violent Femmes – Gone Daddy GoneThe Pogues – If I Should Fall From Grace with GodGogol Bordello – ImmigradiadaGreen Day – American IdiotFlush the Orange TurdLinks to related show content from prior episodesThis episode refers back to a few topics covered in prior episodes.We invite you to learn more about these ideas!Use the links, below.Minimalismhttps://americansong.buzzsprout.com/1622638/9672982-the-celestial-pulse-of-minimalismThe Blueshttps://americansong.buzzsprout.com/1622638/8276409-the-duality-of-the-blues-episode-7-of-american-song Call and Responsehttps://americansong.buzzsprout.com/1622638/8532047-the-rising-of-gospel-music-and-how-it-inspired-the-world
