You know, there's a lot of reasons to not like Crime (the band). They were corny, not in a clowning way. It was their not-at-all believable tough guy posturing. Like Fonzie with cuss words and loud guitars. If they came out today, you bet I'd latch onto reasons not to like them. The reason I can't dismiss them in hindsight is because when I first heard them I wasn't looking for a reason to dislike any punk band, I was looking for a reason to like them. Not because I was some kind of undiscriminating ignoramus, there was just that little punk rock that had made it to vinyl. Shit, we didn't let any of the corniness or posturing of the Ramones, let alone stupid lyrics, stop us from liking them. And at that time that's about all there was.
