WHO IS THE OUTLAW?
By
WHIM WHAM
“It’s unfortunate the rock and roll industry is looked upon as outlaws.” — Concert promoter, Mr Hugh Lynn, responding to angry calls from Newtown, Wellington, residents after a rehearsal. A Mate of mine in the Rock and Roll Industry, a sensitive Soul, Assures me that he feels no Pain When local Residents complain — That’s their unfortunate Mistake, Unwilling to be kept awake, Looking on Us as Outlaws! Fools! It’s not the Law, it’s Rock that rules The Yuppy Suburbs, Pubs, and Schools — Who dares dispute the Band’s Authority? Only a dissident Minority — The only genuine Outlaws, they Whose Ears resist, three Streets away, The Rock and Roll Establishment, Pockets of local Discontent Sir, as I write, the Bands play on Across the Street next Door but One, The Stereos belt It out, and I — Do I protest? Quite honestly, My Ear has an Acquired Immunity — They can insult It with Impunity — Since they’ve been doing it so long! What if they stopped? Wouldn’t I run To the Phona and ask, Is Anything wrong? > Shall I dial Sne-One-One? *
