Punk is everywhere

The spirit of punk is always part of the greatest artists whether they are punk or not. And I don’t think the spirit of punk starts with music called punk. I hear it in the greats from all generations. It’s that willingness to cut a corner and break a rule to get to the important work of music conveying emotion. Any rule that stands in the way of that impulse is worthy of being discarded when it stands in the way of connecting emotionally.
