It was around 1979, and my best friend Dave’s older brother Cliff gave me this single that he said he really hated (he was a big fan of Foreigner). It was by The Mutants, and the music was like nothing I’d ever heard. The A side, “I Say Yeah,” seemed like a pop song, but it had no center. I listened to it over and over again, trying to figure out how it was put together. Eventually, I learned they were from Detroit. And then later, someone said they were from Hamtramck. In any case, ever since then, I’ve not been able to separate Detroit from that song. Is punk dead?

It was an act of rebellion, a wake-up call for a new generation. Punk was about destroying the past, and then destroying itself. The best bands
