[kj] RAVEN at the Grammys - REDUX

[ade]

There will always be the followers, behind the leaders, wearing their
uniforms with pride, settling themselves into yet another rut.

Alex, do you think he might be 10 years younger than yourself?

The debate wasn't about whether or not facial hair looks ridiculous   
-- the debate was about whether or not "it used to be that a punk  
with facial hair was ludicrous".  You seem rather keen to deride  
those who *dare* stray from yawnsomely rigid Punk Rock tonsorial/ 
sartorial uniformity, when in fact the original point of the movement/ 
genre/aesthetic was to champion that which disregarded all semblance  
of uniformity in its entirety.
