Punk's not dead

...it's just being recycled. I found this bass in the dumpster during the annual spring cleaning one week ago.

Actually a fairly nice bass, an neck-through body Aria Cardinal from 1982, now with a "custom" paint job by, I guess, the former owner. Note the alternative peace sign... :)

Or maybe punk isn't dead, it's just resting?

/O.K.

    Do you think there is punk on other planets? Staying within the space theme here...

    Well, Frank Zappa managed to become an
    asteroid, so why not?

    I agree with Johan - it is definitely a botanical item...

    Look closer, Johan. Iggy Pop is not flower power imo.

    But the Iggy sticker is put there later. The original paint work is definitely flower power. :o)

    A few more thoughts:
    1. Is there spunk on other planets? (ask Pippi Langstrump)
    2. Is a sticker worth more than what is underneath it?
    3. Will flower power live longer than punk?

    Of course yo do LS. ;)

    How about "I wish I was a punkrocker with flowers in my hair" then?

    Actually there's no paint under the sticker, so it must have been added first!

    Ha! ;)

    It's har to say if Flowe Power will live longer than Punk. Because punk will live for ever.
    So its a kind of philosophical question.

    No REAL punkrocker would ever be seen with flowers in their hair (or with this bass), I think!

    The person that painted the guitar must have loved that sticker a lot to leave it on and have it surrounded by paint. I think it was a converted 'punkare', that became a hippie.

    Live forever... so time is infinite? Now we are back in the space issue again - was there time before Big Bang? Time can change too - is E=mc2 valid for punk too?

    "The person that painted the guitar must have loved that sticker a lot to leave it on and have it surrounded by paint. I think it was a converted 'punkare', that became a hippie."

    And then we have "recycled punk"?
