Since the ABC video on “The Day My Kid Went Punk” went down, I found this little jem.
In 1983, AM Northwest Portland with Margie Boule and Jim Bosley (a morning news talk show) had a punk segment with a live studio audience full of them. It’s a great incite to how confused the older people were of the “strange looking kids” that they were slightly frightened of. Quite entertaining. Their guest, Buck Munger, then publisher of Oregon’s music trade magazine “Two Louies” discusses the new Punk music scene in Portland.

Buck Munger, who is still involved with the music scene was inducted into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame this past January. Two Louies was considered Portland’s version of Rolling Stone and named after Portland’s greatest hit, “Louie Louie” by the Kingsmen. There is a tribute website dedicated to the magazine, including a history of Portland’s punk rock with some photos by people that use to work there. Pretty cool read if you have the chance.
