nancy spungen

Nancy Spungen was originally born in Philadelphia to a middle class jewish family from the suburbs. She was extremely violent and abrasive throughout her childhood, and it got worse as she grew older (even leading to self-abortions and drug abuse). When she was 17 she moved to New York, becoming a groupie, stripper, and a prostitute. Nancy later moved to London, where she was introduced to Sid Vicious through Johnny Rotten (which Johnny later regretted). They moved in together, and Nancy introduced Sid to heroin, a drug he hadn't tried, and is often blamed for his downfall.
In October 1978, she was found dead with a single knife wound in her body. Sid Vicious was arrested for murder and taken to jail, then released on bail in early 1979. He died of a heroin overdose soon after, which might have been a suicide. He requested that he be buried next to Nancy, but her family would not allow it. Sid's mother secretly scattered his ashes on Nancy's grave soon later.

winnipeg

Pretty big city in Manitoba, Canada. It gets unbelievably hot in the summer (yes, hot in Canada!) and deathly cold in the winter. Lots of rivers, and the cops find bodies in them alot. I can see why they named one the Red River... LOL. People can just tell when you're not from there, but thats not necessarily a bad thing. A very diverse city. It doesn't get the credit it deserves.

Genya Ravan

A real original. She was making music before Janis Joplin, Joan Jett, Patti Smith, Chrissie Hynde... hell, before everyone! She was originally born in Poland, escaping the holocaust and moving to New York's lower east side. She led Goldie and The Gingerbreads, and was in Ten Wheel Drive until 1971, when she started making her own solo albums. She's still never recieved her due.
Even if you've never heard her music, you should know who Genya Ravan is.

Joplin has nothing on Genya.

native pride

The very state of a native american being proud of their culture.
Native Pride is often displayed on clothing and accessories- hats, shirts, pants, sweaters, bags... you name it. Feathers, braided hair, and beads (the traditional look) is sometimes shown too. Some natives even get tattoos showing their Native Pride.

Native Pride has absolutely nothing to do with racism and is not some sort of uprising. Some people get offended because they assume different things. For example: We think we are better than you. Wrong. We are keeping our culture strong.
-He's got feathers in his hair, an eagle on his chest, is called by his native name. He has Native Pride.

-"I want a tattoo. It should say 'Native Pride'."

-The English have England, Germans have Germany, Italians have Italy, Egyptians have Egypt, Indians have India, Spanish have Spain, Russians have Russia, Chinese have China....(continues).... there is no 'Natives have America'. But we're here, and we're proud.

go indian

To "go indian" is for a Native American to act how "indians" would when they'd hunt or fight. SOMETIMES involves a couple drinks, and things that are sharp, hard, or they smash.
Fine displays of this behavior is shown in Dances with Wolves, Last of The Mohicans, movies with wild fight scenes, and some real live people. The people often scream too (Not in pain).
1. I'll go indian on you.
2. The place is totally wrecked. They went indian.
3. Steve from The Outsiders is a good example of "going indian". The screaming, fighting, and the look on his face. And he's not even brown!

ghetto by the sea

Venice, California. Think of it as trying to take Coney Island's deal. The boardwalk, beach, gangs, rusting ferris wheels... And a lot of people sitting around all day, not thinking once about the real world. That's Venice.
The movie Lords of Dogtown refer to it as "The Ghetto By The Sea"
