Punk music

I really enjoyed Marta's presentation on punk music. I think she did a fantastic job explaining the whole movement surrounding punk music, which wasn't just the music itself. The whole punk movement was based around bringing about political change in a different way than the hippies had during the love generation. The movement wasn't supposed to be anti-pop culture. I also thought it was interesting that Andy Warhol was accredited with helping punk begin because I only think of him as an artist. I don't really know a lot about Andy Warhol's life, although I did see his "100 Cans" painting in the Albright-Knox museum. I looked for some information about his life and was surprised to find out that he was almost killed by someone who worked in the Factory with him because she thought he controlled too much of her life. He really was important in the music industry, as he painted portraits of famous musicians like Mick Jagger, John Lennon and Michael Jackson. I also saw a picture taken of Andy Warhol with Jimmy Carter, which was interesting because Jimmy Carter wanted punk music to stay underground.
