En af de vigtigste forudsætninger for punken - og dermed osse i en vis grad post-punken (eller nyrock, som den blev kaldt dengang her i landet - var kedsomhed. 'Boredom, boredom, boredom ba-dom-ba-dom', som de herligt melodiske engelske provinspunkere Buzzcocks skrålede i deres emblematiske sang af samme navn. 'I'm Bored', sang Iggy, 'I'm chairman of the bored', og Iggy var jo om nogen proto-punk. Og kedsomhed kendte vi i den grad osse til i provinsen dengang i begyndelsen af firserne. Vi gik og ventede på noget, og da dette noget ikke kom til byen, måtte vi jo selv sætte i gang i noget, selv lave en scene, en undergrund. Og i går kom jeg pludselig i tanker om et nummer, der vist aldrig nåede uden for øvelokalet, men teksten siger det alligevel meget godt: "Eine weile, eine lange langeweile". Jo, vi havde humor. Dengang i 1982.

Fra en præ-punk-punk...:
SvarSletBoredom
Hangin' by myself in a bleak motel
Overnight in a small town.
Boredom
My mind's countin' time, trucks go rollin' by
Past the pumps and highway sign.
Never was a place that felt less like home.
Never woulda come here if I'd only known
That it's a one-channel town and I'm all alone.
I can't just sit 'n' watch my telephone
'Cause no one knows my number and it can't be found
And there's no good people just kickin' around
So here we are together
Machines and me.
I feel about as local as a fish in a tree and this
Boredom.
My mind's countin' time, trucks go rollin' by
Past the pumps and highway sign.
And in this town all the other sounds have ceased.
And the Late Late Show died long ago
With a few words from a priest.
Boredom
Hangin' by myself in a bleak motel
Overnight in a small town.
(John Sebastian/Lovin Spoonful)
