This is how it's done. Victor Rice (aka Strikkly Vikkly Dubsystem) at the board.

Punk Rock Purple Haze (Lesbian Folkie Remix?)
You know that game, "Florida or Germany?", where you try to decide if the person/people in the photo are from the panhandle state or mitteleuropa, based solely on the hideous contrast of sock and sandal or the injudicious display of neon spandex?
Well, I've been playing a similar game with the video below, only it's called "Punk Rock or New Wave Folkie Lesbian?" I've wracked my brain over this one, but I'm unable to commit myself to one side or the other. I do know that what you're about to see is spirited and uplifting and highly original. In a word (snatched from 1986): Awesome!
The friend who retrieved this from oblivion suggests that the visuals are outdated, but I'm in love with everything I see here. This, to me, is the essence of civil disobedience. Context is key. This clip originally went out via PBS during the height of Reaganism. Bottom line? Inspired use of public broadcasting in an age of high conservatism to load the television sets of SW Texas with lesbian, freakadelic, creativity.
