[Books] Signs of True Punkness

[jon_chaisson]

So I'm in the midst of reading Jack Boulware's Gimme Something Better: The Profound, Progressive, and Occasionally Pointless History of Bay Area Punk from Dead Kennedys to Green Day, which professes in the introduction that some of the speakers are in fact complete morons (his words!), I find the following quote from Nicki Sicki, singer of Verbal Abuse:

"When we were on tour once, I farted so bad Dave quit the band and got out of the van in Wisconsin with his bass and started walking home to Oakland."

I can't decide if this is on par with The Young Ones, Bad News, or Spinal Tap.

Still...can't get more punk than that. ;)
