Punk Rock Opera
Vol. 1

1979. – (December 31st 1979)
Introduction

lyrics

-[The cassette begins.]-

Some time in the mid 70s a swirling pool of discontentment and anger created a new sort of art form, something where voice and message outweighed musicianship, but still conveyed power, still conveyed rage.

The date is now December 31st 1979 in three minutes we take our first steps in to a new decade, a decade ruled by distrust in the youth, distrust caused by corruption of government, drafting of young men and brothers to die in years before.

Our hero, Leo, tomorrow will walk to a garage sale and buy a guitar, try to change himself, maybe he can change music, change us all, change the world?

It is now my honor and duty to present to you the greatest show on earth, the Punk Rock Opera.
