(TV) School of Punk Rock?

["Emilie T. Hsu" <ehsu@mindspring.com>]

Not trying to offend anyone here -- just repeating something I've read.  Bob Quine thinks that the Clash has no idea what they are talking about politically...  Quine seems to have thought that the Clash's politics is more for "show"...

Now, Richard went to a good high school in NYC, he went to Stuyvesant High School -- not a boarding school but a really good school for sciences.

On the subject of the Strokes -- has anyone seen those "Who's My Daddy World Tour" t-shirts?  Hilarious -- it says something like "The Socialites" on the front in the same type of the words "The Strokes" on their first album and the back of the t-shirt has the caption "Who's My Daddy World Tour" with cities like Gstaad and such.

wasn't his father some sort of ambassador?  which
might be what created his interest in global politics,
which ended up being a distinctly clash contribution
to punk.

but to pick on the stroke (my point) -- i have no
trouble imagining many early punks were middle class
- -- but i do not believe many were from wealthy homes. 
and i really am put off by the whole "my daddy bought
me a band" priviledge of the strokes.
