Details:
I was a teenager in the years 1969 to 1977 so I wanted to put the record straight about being a punk rocker (with flowers in my hair). In the great tradition of answering songs (âItâs My Partyâ/âJudyâs Turn to Cryâ, âChestnut Mareâ/âIdiot Windâ, âSouthern Manâ/âSweet Home Alabamaâ, âBack in the USAâ/âBack in the USSRâ, âNorwegian Woodâ/â4th Time Aroundâ, Weird Al Yankovicâs body of work, etc) comes the novelty reply to the ubiquitous hit, âI Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (with Flowers in My Hair)â. Flouting the subjunctive and taking liberties with nostalgia as she does, the twenty-something Sandi Thomâs acappella, angsty anthem to the Hippy and Punk heydays of 1969 and 1977 has downloaded her to the top of the pops. Countering her roseate view, in fitting style, is someone who was really there, who lived through it all, the unreconstructed Punk Hippy Fart. Does he deserve equal time to put his side of the story? Should Sandi Thom get on her bike and just do it? You will know in 3 mins 15 secs. Tune in, turn on, download!!
