Punk rock meets politics in the heart of Middle America
2004
Overview
DES MOINES, Iowa -- There was a time when punk rock was synonymous with anti-social behavior: Smashed guitars, trashed hotel rooms, behavior that would be offensive even on today's reality TV shows. A punk rock icon whose stage name was Sid Vicious allegedly killed his girlfriend in a ratty New York hotel, then died of a heroin overdose. Some trappings of punk were evident at Punkvoter.com's \"Rock Against Bush\" news conference on Sunday, held at a downtown Des Moines hotel. (Vibe-wise, the place is several solar systems away from punk. It has a portrait of Woodrow Wilson in the lobby.) So a coalition of punk rockers founded the organization and Web site. They're also issuing a two-volume CD called \"Rock Against Bush.\" Organizer Wayne Kramer of the band MC5 said he hopes to mobilize more than 500,000 young voters. Kramer said the site is getting 250,000 hits a day.
