Just like people, some punks are more intelligent than others.  The
oft-mentioned Dead Kennedys are a prime example.  Besides being loud
and fast and having disgustingly obnoxious lyrics, their music (hold
the snickers please!) also offer some revealing social commentaries
the like of which haven't been heard since Bob Dylan got "born-again."

At the end of "Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables" is an Elvis
Presley cover ("Viva Las Vegas") done up in the best Jello Biafra
snarl, which is all the more ironic considering the Elvis that did
THAT song:  rich, fat, and full of drugs.
