69? Didn't realise he was a lot older than the Pistols / Banshees / Generation X etc by 5 / 6 years.
Though thinking about it, The Stone Roses were all 26 / 27 by the time their eponymous album came out
‘We were called heretics and ostracised’: the Stranglers on fights, drugs and finally growing up
They brawled with the Sex Pistols, gaffer-taped a journalist to the Eiffel Tower and got thrown out of Sweden twice. Now, for their 18th album and final tour, the punks seem to be maturing at last

Got tickets for the John Lyndon Q and A tour next month.
Now where is my ELP t-shirt?
What questions should I ask?

Thinking more about asking about his choice of butter?
A scratched-up piece of New York punk rock history -- Johnny Ramone's guitar -- is up for auction | CNN
The white paint is scratched off and worn away along the sides of Johnny Ramone's electric guitar, the one he used on stage for nearly 20 years to make some of punk rock's most distinctive chords with the legendary Ramones.

Quality lyrics from Ian Dury and the Blockheads: )
You must have seen parties of Blockheads
With blotched and lagered skin
Blockheads with food particles in their teeth
What a horrible state they're in
They've got womanly breasts under pale mauve vests
Shoes like dead pigs' noses
Cornflake packet jacket, catalogue trousers
A mouth what never closes
You must have seen Blockheads in raucous teams
Dressed up after work
Who screw their poor old Eileens
Get sloshed and go berserk
Rotary accessory watches
Hire-purchase signet rings
A beauty to the bully boys
No lonely vestige clings
Why bother at all about Blockheads?
Why shouldn't they do as they please?
You know if it came to a brainy game
You could baffle a Blockhead with ease
How would you like one puffing and blowing in your ear-hole?
Or pissing in your swimming pool?
Bigger brained Blockheads often acquire
Black and orange cars
Premature ejaculation drivers
Their soft-top's got roll-bars
'Fill her up, ' they say to Blockheads
'Go on, stick it where it hurts'
Their shapeless haircuts don't enhance
Their ghastly patterned shirts
Why bother at all about Blockheads?
Superior as you are
You're thoughtful and kind with a well-stocked mind
A Blockhead can't think very far
Imagine finding one in your laundry basket
Banging nails in your big black dog
Why bother at all about Blockheads?
Why should you care what they do?
'Cause after all is said and done
You're a Blockhead too

Love the Chelsea song. Did they do anything else of note?
Love it in Billy Idol's book, when he and Tony James were in Chelsea (Billy on lead guitar) and Idol / James wrote Youth Youth Youth and thought with Gene October singing it aged 27 it just wasn't right. The pair quit Chelsea and formed Generstion X and Youth Youth Youth was on their first album
Love the Dead Boys too and Stiv Bators when in Lord's of the New Church.
