History With Hilbert | The Ramones and World War 2 | A Punk Paradox? @historywithhilbert | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 16 hours ago.
Perhaps the most famous of American Punk bands, the Ramones formed in 1974 and employed imagery from the Second World War and the Nazis in their lyrics and titles. "Blitzkrieg Bop" and "Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World" are two obvious examples, though "Bonzo Goes to Bitzburg" is another that is less easy to identify. What were the Ramones trying to accomplish with this? And what was the context in which the music was made?
