09 10 09 entry one

Metal and punk were coming out at the same time in America and Britain. 

Birmingham:  Where Sabbath was From = Steel Work
Detroit, Michigan= Where cars USED to come from

First truly considered band to be heavy metal in Europe: Black Sabbath / Earth

1st punk and metal bands in the states: MC5 and the Stooges

MC5 + Stooges October 30/31 Grande Ballroom 1968.
First Punk. (kick out the jams - mc5 + real cool time - stooges)
First (USA) Metal (in my own opinion)- Starship  - mc5

btw: evil woman was recorded 1st by "Crow", in 67.
all of this shit stemmed from heavy atmospheres and tensions due to the worker environment in the UK, and the uprisings and political torment and assassinations of 68 here in the states.  Not to mention that the UK was a hotbed of Mod Vs. Rocker violence, as highlighted in such films as The Who's Quadrophenia.  Lines become drawn and friendships deteriorated, blah blah blah read something.
yep, metal and punk were gelling before Woodstock. 
homework:  it's for you.

We need some inspiration, a change of scenery. William: (smirking) I couldn't agree more, Allen. Let's escape this concrete jungle and find some adventure. How about heading down South? Allen: (excited) South? That sounds intriguing. But where exactly? Scene 2: Road Trip Commences (A car packed with their belongings. Allen and William hop in. As they drive, they discuss their plans.) Allen: (driving) I heard Kentucky has some hidden gems, beautiful landscapes, and interesting characters. What do you think? William: (leaning back) Sounds like a plan. I hear there's a particular writer living there who's quite the character himself—Hunter Thompson. Allen: (grinning) Ah, Thompson...
