	was looking at "Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung" by
Lester Bangs the other night.  In the first essay of the book, a reprint
of a CREEM article in 1971, he uses the word "punk" to describe that
type of music/musician.  Most likely, the origin of the word punk came
about by several people independently (when was Nuggets released? 71' or
later.  if it was later, then one could argue that Lenny stole the term
from bangs)(LB may have been using that term for years before it was
published in creem, liekwise Lenny before Nuggets came out)



On another note, did anyone catch ? and the Mysterians in NYC- would
have loved to have been there, but I have a feeling they won't be coming
to Richmond
