[kj] OT: punk rock babies - kj baby

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

If I had a kid I'd totally buy them stuff like that. (Motorhead 
t-shirts.) What else will it be? Levi's? Generic clothes with no logos 
on them, fat coors, from Old Navy or The Gap, etc.? That is also a way 
of influencing them. There is no way not to. Once they began to prefer 
their own stuff, then of course I'd heed way and let them at it. 
Provided it was something I could afford to get them, aka not $300 
Diesel jeans.
