THE STRANGLERS "NO MORE HEROES" . . . . ONE OF SEVERAL 'ANTI' TUNES FROM THE PUNK AND POST PUNK MELTING POT THAT HAS ALWAYS RESONATED WITH ME . . . . KINDA WEIRD HOW THESE 'OLD FARTS' INFILTRATED SO SUCCESSFULLY WHAT WAS THE DOMAIN OF THE ANGRY YOUNG PUNKS OF THE DAY . . . . SAW THEM ONCE IN ABOUT '81 OR '82, FUCKING MARVELOUS THEY WERE . . . . THROWN OUT OF QUEENSLAND BY PREMIER JOH BJELKE PETERSEN, TOO COOL.

BACK IN THE MID TO LATE SEVENTIES THE PUNK SCENE SO THREATENED THE QUEENSLAND STATE GOVERNMENT, LEAD BY JOHANNES BJELKE PETERSEN, A COCKSUCKER SO RIGHT WING HE MADE JERRY BROWN AND MAGGIE THATCHER LOOK LIKE COMMIES, THAT MUSICIANS, UNI STUDENTS AND PROTESTERS WERE ACTUALLY DRIVEN FROM THE STATE, THINK OF 'THE SAINTS', 'THE GO BETWEENS' AND 'RAZAR' JUST FOR STARTERS . . . . OTHER ACTS WERE BANNED FROM ENTERING THE SUNSHINE STATE, 'JIMMY AND THE BOYZ' WERE A SYDNEY BAND WHO FELL FOUL OF JOH AND HIS JACK BOOTING STORMTROOPERS, AS DID JEAN JACQUES, HUGH AND COMPANY ON THEIR FIRST AUSTRALIAN TOUR, IT WAS CRAZY TIMES, YOU COULD GET ARRESTED FOR HAVING A DISCUSSION IN A GROUP OF FOUR OR MORE PEOPLE ON THE STREET IN BRISBANE, WE HAD TO HAVE $5.00 ON US AT ALL TIMES AS PUNKS OR WE'D BE LOCKED UP FOR LOITERING . . . . YEAH, 'FUCK THE POLICE' REALLY MEANT SOMETHING BACK THEN . . . . ANYWAY, CHECK THIS BITCHIN STOP-MOTION, HOME MADE CLIP . . . . KILL YOUR HEROES BEFORE THEY DISAPPOINT YOU.
