Today is the Birthday of James Newell Osterberg, Jr b-1947. I think that we should all observe a moment here because there have been many who could trace punk rock back from So-Cal Thrash, to English Oi, to New York Power Pop, to Detroit Garage, and further back to elements of the 60`s and 50`s Rock, Metal, Jazz, and R&B. However, I am not alone in saying that he is not only the “Godfather of Punk” but a man that can lay legitimate claim to being the founding Father of a genre of music that has altered society forever.
