The Ramones' covered this futuristic tune that was originally written
for a fictional rock group, Max Frost and The Troopers (by Cynthia
Weil, Barry Mann) for the fascinating but absurd 1968 B-flick, "Wild In
The Streets," starring then-hot property Christopher Jones. It played
on the fears of straight America about the rock-happy, drug-poppin',
promiscuous "youth rebellion." Although a campy hoot now, my parents'
generation seriously wondered whether under-30-year-old people were
trying to overthrow the US government. In the silly script, everyone
that aged beyond 30 was forced into prisons (including a disheveled
Shelley Winters!), and 14 year olds were given the right to vote. ("14
or Fight!") LOL! (Sort of a political extrapolation of 1967's "Riot On
Sunset Strip" and countless other "hippie exploitation" movies of that
insane period.)
The Ramones really rocked hard. One of the cult bands on my "10 Best
Cult Rockers" list. I saw them in concert in Seattle in the late 70s.
The crowd was stoned out of their minds. Mostly booze, but plenty of
acid, coke, and weed, too. Some of the audience passed out in melodic
ecstasy! A drunken gal behind me nearly barfed on my pant legs!
Eck...but it was "memorable." I got lost on the way home. heeheehee...

Well, we have something in common, Doc. I also loved the Ramones,
although I never saw them live...

Here I was thinking, this post was a Hg Wells play on " Of days to
come"
Made as a movie in the 30's as Things to come, but Ramones song been a
long time since Rockaway Beach, even saw the Ramones in the Rainbow at
London!
Sid Vicious was there, blowing the biggest scoobie I had seen for a
while!
