a hard-to-classify group of bands and performers who laid the foundation for and inspired punk rock's development in the mid-1970s. These acts sported tough guy looks, rebellious attitudes, the longest hair in the neighborhood, sometimes simple 3-chord arrangements and/or feedback and garage band aesthetics. Some of these acts were called "punk rock" by critics in the late 60s and early 70s. That label later was applied to later bands of the mid-70s, starting with the Ramones. Elvis Presley may be the original "proto-punk" rocker. He wore denim and leather, wore his hair long for the 50s, swiveled his hips provacatively, rode motorcycles, sneered when he sang, and more. The term "proto-punk" wasn't used until after punk itself came into its own.
Here are some examples of proto-punk acts:
The Kinks
The Who
Velvet Underground
The Stooges
The MC5
? and the Mysterians
The Seeds
New York Dolls
Roxy Music
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Rolling Stones
... and many more.

a phrase in the Japanese language that means "thank you very much". Made popular in Western culture by the 1983 hit "Mr. Roberto" (also known as "Kilroy Was Here", "The Modern Man" and "Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto") by the band Styx. This is how many Americans learned the phrase.
after the Japanese man took a picture of me (sitting in two countries at the same time!) at the U.S. - Canada border mark on the Niagara Falls Peace Bridge I thanked him by saying "Domo arigato". He smiled and shook my hand.

1. California police code used to denote an escaped criminally insane person.
2. An album that hit in 1986 by Van Halen. It's the first album by the "Van Hagar" lineup. Also, the album's name comes from the studio it (and 1984) were recorded.

1. Positive. This is Sgt. Pepper reporting a pursuit of a 5150. Do you copy?
2. This is dialog from a VH concert I went to.
Sammy Hagar: And just does "5150" mean?
Mike Anthony: It means that you're a crazy motherfucker!
Crowd erupts in cheers.

a quality (or trait) of a person that plays on a person's sexual sences. Lately this trait has been used and exploited extensively to cause viewers (usually male) to "think with their dicks" instead of their brains.
1. believe it or not, I was doing research for a college arts class paper and I was paging thru some old back copies of Rolling Stone magazine. A female journalist described Keith Richards as the "brilliant Rolling Stones guitarist" who sings a tune lead (once in a blue moon) with a "fuck-me-honey" voice. Yeah, that's right.(!)
2. Look at the lousy "diva" stars of the past number of years. Look at the female TV news reporters. Notice how stupid and empty-headed they are. Then look at the hatemonger Ann Coulter and the idiotic Susan Palin. Read the comments and blogs:
MILF, VPILF, GILF, oh WTF, hot for teacher, cougar, "I'd do her!", "I'd hit her!", and all that shit. It seems that if a female has good looks and that fuck-me-honey air to her then she is a STAR, a celebrity, a sensation. No good heart and no brains needed. However, Susan Palin didn't get to be Vice-President this year, did she? RATS!!!!! ; ) People were thinking with their ding dongs but that formula didn't work this time around.
Now who's slamming McCain because her fuck-me-honey aura didn't get her where she wanted. Shut up. Go away. Is this a sign? Could the tide be turning at last? We can hope...
3.
There's a bubble-headed bleach blonde, comes on at five
She can tell ya about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die, give us dirty laundry...
DON HENLEY
4. At the beginning of one of the Porky's movies there is a neon sign animation where a sow pig lifts up her skirt and a male pig goes gaga on her. What's that spell?

quite simply, punk rock is a restoration of the original rebellious youth attitude and simple fundamentals of expession in rock'n'roll music that was first expressed in the 50s by the giants like Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis (especially in his personal life), and others, as opposed to the clean cut image of some of the pop stars that were dominant at the time. In the mid-60s there was the Velvet Underground who influenced punk by their lyrical themes and feedback and more. Then came what are now considered to be the protopunk bands, who took the practice of pushing the envelope that British bands like the Rolling Stones, the Who and the Kinks initiated to even greater lengths in terms of sound, image and rebellious attitude (the Stooges, the MC5, and many other bands). The term "punk rock" possibly was first used by rock critic Dave Marsh in a rockmag in the early 70s to describe the sound of ? and the Mysterians. An independent movement in rock developed as a reaction because the music had become corporate, pompous, bloated, pretentious, artsy-fartsy, and along with Top 40 pop, just plain cruddy and stupid. Bands started playing their songs short, to the point, loud, and fast, often a three-chord arrangement in accordance with the idiom KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid). The name "punk rock" was applied to this independent movement in rock, the movement was and still a rebellion against the prevailing fads and trends. It has greatly influenced popular music in the 80s decade and beyond, spawning nascent movements like speed metal, new wave, postpunk, grunge and more in terms of style, sound, image, attitude and much more. Punk rock is anti-corporate, anti-establishment, anti-system and anti-conformity. Current bands like Blink 182 and Good Charlotte are NOT punk rock because they don't really have the original rebellious rock'n'roll spirit, gist or attitude of individuality. Music has gotten so corporate now that we very badly need another rock revolution like punk and we need it fast, before rock's just part of the past. Cuz lately it just sounds the same to me... (all due respect to the Ramones).
The Ramones are often considered to be the first actual punk rock band as we know it. This legendary band from Forest Hills, Queens, the Big Apple were greatly influenced by American garage rock bands, the British Invasion, the Beach Boys and girl groups. I saw them four times before they called it quits in 1996. VIVA RAMONES!

This phrase is a notorious slogan found on stickers and T-shirts, used by people who oppose the policies of George W. Bush. The sticker also features a picture of W. The slogan is an anthem of resistance and refusal to accept Bush as America's legitimate President. It became more commonplace after the Iraq war started.
At the parking lot of a Media Play store I saw a purple car with a Not My President sticker on the rear.
