I’m Not Your Steppin’ Stone

(I’M NOT YOUR) STEPPIN’ STONE PUNK HISTORY BELONGS TO US ALL. IT IS A HISTORY OF INDIVIDUALISM AND THE SENSE THAT WE HAVE THE POWER AND WHEN WE USE THAT POWER WE CAN CREATE A BETTER WORLD.

IT’S NOT THE HISTORY OF THE OPPORTUNIST OR THE NARCISSIST, ALTHOUGH THEY DO FIGURE IN IT. IT IS NOT THE HISTORY OF THE HOLLYWOOD-STYLE HERO MAKING A STAND, CHANGING THE WORLD AND LEAVING THE MEEK TO BOW AND SCRAPE IN THEIR WAKE.

IF YOU LIVED IT YOU WERE AS BIG A PART OF IT AS ANYONE ELSE AND DON’T BE TOLD ANY DIFFERENT. OUR CONTRIBUTION DOESN’T SEEK TO ATTACK INDIVIDUALS BUT IT DOES SEEK TO ATTACK THE NOTION THAT WE SHOULD EXALT LEADERS AND FIGUREHEADS. PUNK HISTORY BELONGS TO US ALL AND I FOR ONE AM NOT YOUR STEPPIN’ STONE…
