The cool record store in Denver was Wax Trax, and oddly enough, that became Wax Trax, in 1978, according to the store today. www.waxtraxrecords.com...

What I remember around 1978 was seeing a signed promo photo of Sid and Nancy, signed "Piss off" and "XOXO" as if two different toddlers had used a sharpie for the first time. Seemed legit.

Rawk is Folk Music of the People - & also Classic(al) by now (it just is) which befits a Museum approach - & simultaneously very much a Commercial concern. It absolutely becomes a question of who isn't in it - rather than any validation from being in it. I mean - what deserving Artist was lifted up by being recognized by it...
