sigpic Do you really believe the other side without provocation would launch so many ICBM's, subs and ships knowing that we would have no option to launch as well? It would break our MAD Treaty (Mutually Assured Destruction) not to mention the end of the world as we know it.
Pogo is also a long metal stick kids used to bounce along on

Yes the dance was an attempt to imitate bouncing up & down on one.
It was Sid Vicious who invented the Pogo as the story goes, he actually did it as a pisstake to imitate the excitement of the fans when they would come in to see a gig
As a teen in the 80s I remember the school disco and the punks getting on the floor when the clash came on doing the pogo.
I was a headbanger with long hair and when our music came on ( it was since you been gone by rainbow )all us headbangers got up and played air guitar and the punks followed us and pretended to stamp on the nits that fell out of our hair .
I think the pogo thing evolved to some extent. I was a bit young to get into gigs back in 77 but rather than just jumping up and down it eventually became more animated. When going to see bands like The Angelic Upstarts, GBH, Vice Squad etc there was usually a kind of a melee at the front of the venue by the stage, usually good natured and fun but quite physical.
I wouldn't want to participate in such larks these days, probably finish me off!
