: Punk Band: The Vandals, wrote a song, "I want to be a Cowboy" in response to a Cowboy bar next door to a Punk Club.

| Amusing Punk Band: The Vandals wrote a song, "I want to be a Cowboy" about a Cowboy bar (Zubies) right next door to a Punk Club (Cuckoo's), and the fights that broke out between them. A very arty way of dealing with the conflict. Since I grew up in area, and frequented both, it was personal to me. |

I was into some punk in the late 70s and early 80s, but I also worked in Aerospace (a pretty button down job). At Rockwell, we used to go to Zubies for lunch, just down the street (a Cowboy bar), that had good burgers. It was right next door to the Kuckoos Nest: a punk bar/venue (that I also frequented). And they used to regularly have fights that emptied both places into the parking lots.
So this local punk band (the Vandals) wrote a song about it, to mock the Zubies crowd -- a cowboy song in the Punk style... that was guaranteed to get a fight started.
Eventually the Authorities in Huntington Beach / Fountain Valley harassed Cuckoo's Nest out of business.
