hey citizensmurf, calm yourself. the elitism displayed by all of the frat-boys in high school was much worse than anything here. up until something is deemed cool by the mainstream, people get picked on for liking it...i remember being called a 'devo faggot' in the early eighties for wearing a ramones t-shirt. the people yelling it were probably listening to loverboy or journey. i also had a velvets shirt in high school which was 'proof' that i must be a 'fag' because anyone with a big gay banana t-shirt has to be queer.
if it doesn't bother you to see your childhood co-opted by britney spears and david f*ckface, you are probably just catching up yourself...

Actually I'm quite calm. Not a curse in that whole post. I don't know about any of you personally, but I find it hard not to see the irony of slagging someone for wearing a Ramones t-shirt when you got beat up in high school for wearing one. I mean if it was Thurston Moore wearing it, you would probably praise him. Christians seem to have no problem accepting former 'sinners' into their fold. Elitism is elitism no matter what side you're on, no worse no better. I think that music is something that should bring people together, not keep them apart.

In the Robbie Williams biography he somewhere notes that he got inspiration for a song by listening to Venus In Furs. He also mentions meeting Lou Reed once, but I forgot how that went.

My sister is a big Robbie Williams fan. She told me, because she knew I'm a big VU fan.

I swear. Please don't ban me.
