Excellent Point. In Legs' Book He talks a bit about the
the Origin of "Punk" - the Magazine, and thus the Word as 
We've come to know and love it - in the period 12/75-01/76; In 
close proximity to that He also mentions being then enthralled 
by *Nuggets*, and so...
                            
He also talks a lot about the *Dictators* - definitely a
Proto-Punk Group (*Go Girl Crazy* - 1973-74?) in the *Ramones*
vein; Ashamed I forgot to mention them earlier as such.
                           
I'm sure He mentions Lester Bangs as well, but I forget the 
Context...
                             
Anyhow, I've Now lined up Access to an Original Copy of
*Nuggets*, with Lenny Kaye's liner-notes, so in about 2 weeks 
I'm gonna transcribe them for babelogue. Since Lenny was 
publishing at least as Early as Lester - if not earlier...

       ** Nah. The Mentions have been of a Much Higher 
          Quality lately.
