How far we've fallen. Via the Best Magazine In The World, a response to a New York Magazine article about the current generation of politically correct "Punkers". Lefty favorite Joe Strummer (of the Clash) was the son of a diplomat, for heaven's sake, educated in boarding school. And what about New Jersey's hardest working band, the Misfits?
