"Posers were people that looked like punks, but they did it for fashion, and they were fools, they'd say, "Anarchy in the UK." You see? Posers. 'Anarchy in the UK', what the F***'s that?! What good is that to those of us in Utah, America? It was a Sex Pistols thing, right? They were British, that's what they did, they were allowed to go on about anarchy in the UK. You don't live your life by lyrics! I mean that's all you ever heard from these trendy F****, like uh, "did you hear the new _-_-_-_ album? It's f****** terriff!" Kids walking around in Utah saying 'terriff' with that stupid little english twang. See what I mean? What the f***'s up with the England bull-sh*t?! Union jag is a f*g! Now I new a girl alright who'd only have sex with a guy if she had an English accent, can you think of anything more ludicrious in your life? It's every a**hole in Salt Lake City, and believe me, plenty of a**holes in this general region, that wanna do a little of this, will get her drunk and put on some sort of stupid f***** accent and like "hey hey mistress, do ya fancy a SHAG?!" There she would, f***** knees in the sky. It was sad, it made me really sad. Poor girl had no self-respect. See to me, England was nothing more than just a big f****** American state, like uh, like, North Dakota, or Canada. You gotta look at me and you gotta say, 'hey buddy, why are you so mad?' and i'll tell ya. Cuz for all the that went over the english bands in the slc, those f****** english chaps could only say sh*t about us americans, cuz all we were to them was a bunch of hicks, well you know what? IM NOT A F****** HICK! i don't wear cowboy boots, I don't go to the rodeo, horses smell like sh*t to me, and I don't f*** anyone in my own bloodline. By definition I'm not a redneck and god-dam*it, I ain't a f****** hick! 'Oh the sun never sets on the British empire', well the sun never sets on my AS*HOLE! Anther thing that pisses me off, people talking about who started punk rock music. Was it the Sex Pistols in England? Was it the Ramones and the Velvet Underground in New York? It was the Ramones, It was the Sex Pistols aahh... WHO CARES WHO STARTED IT!!??!?! It's music. I don't know who started it and I don't give a f***. But the one thing I do know, is that we did it harder, and dam* we did it faster, and we definitely did it with more love baby, UH! They can't take that away from us."
Sean: Are you him?
Bob: Yeah Sean... I'm him...
Sean: JESUS! Have I sinned or am I going to Heaven?!
Bob: ...um..
Sean: Wait a second... You're not Jesus, you're BOB!
Bob: I'm Bob! How goes it?
Sean: How are ya doin' that Bob?
Bob: Doing what?
Sean: Walking on water
Bob: Oh man, you're fryin'! How much acid did you take?
Sean: I can't get off this stool, you know why Bob?
Bob: No
Sean: Cuz I can't swim
Bob: Oh, oh, I get it... So, Sean, do you like see land anywhere?
Sean: :::Looks around::: nah.. You know what? You ARE Jesus! C'mere I gotta tell you something... Satan is in the house... He killed my mom, and turned her into a bull.
Bob: :::looks up to second story of house to see Sean's mom waving at him
:::Police pull up::: Come out with your hands up!
Sean: I'm SAVED!! I'm SA-HAVED!!!!
Bob: Sure Sean, you're saved...
"See, the thing about me and Bob was, we hated rednecks. See to us, rednecks were American carnage, and well... f888 America."
"This actually needs some explanation. Beer in Supermarkets in Utah is weak, 3 points instead of the normal 6 points of alchohol. It's the religious influence, and a pain in the ass. Now to me it makes no sense. If you've got alchohol, you've got alchohol. So why 3 instead of 6? You know a drunk's just going to drink twice as many beers to get drunk, so you not only have a drunk on your hands, you have a drunk who's fat and gross. There's nothing worse."
| "What can I say? We weren't much more than a couple of young punks." |
"But this fall was going to be the fall alright. Bob and the rest of us had made a note to do absolutely nothing. We were going to waste our educated minds--we had no other way of fighting. As I said, there just weren't enough of us."
"So here's this band. ECP: Extreme Corporeal Punishment. One of the toughest most hardcore bands in the UK. Good band as well. They come to Salt Lake City they think it's too tough for them--an 18-year old punk beat the **** out of their bouncer. I rest my case on this: in a country of lost souls, rebellion comes hard. But in a religously oppressive city, which half it's popluation isn't even of that religion, it comes like fire."
"And this city was still the same...I mean, look at it! There's nothing going on. That's what I saw when I looked out over the city: nothing. How the Mormon settlers looked upon this valley, and felt that it was the promised land, is beyond me. I don't know, maybe it looked different back then."
Aight these aren't GC quotes, but they're freakin awesome and everyone should hear them. They're from the movie SLC PUNK! with Matthew Lillard, go to www.matthewlillard.com to learn more about the movie if you don't already.
