also - while the boots were invented by a nazi soldier, the boots that punks wore were made by a completely different company in the UK that licensed the patent

bizarre to think now that they're an expensive fashion brand, but a pair of doc martens in 1960 cost abt $30 in today's money

cause they were cheap and comfortable so working-class people bought them, and punk was a working-class subculture. it's not any deeper than that

if i still had to live in brattleboro id smoke GPCs too

listen to this. there is no other song where the midi guitar part sounds this close to the original youtu.be/NDi7MXpyTWY?...
