Possibilities
from Chapter 4 of The Punk City Papers,
A book included in Shuteye Town, 1999

...we began this discussion with the awareness that the punks are not at present fully emergent in our world. Can we also look to The Boomer Bible (BB) for a clue as to when they may return?

Again, I believe we can. I am hesitant to mention this fact because it is so incredible to me, but I have counted again and again, and I must report that the number of chapters in the BB’s three testaments totals 2001. I must also point out that the text of the BB assigns a special identity to this number; it is the number the punks associate with the beginning of Mankind—humorously rendered in the Past Testament as 2001 million BC. If I am reading the numbers right, therefore, the punks foresee a new beginning for Mankind in the year 2001, a beginning at which I expect they would like to be present.
