- Reminds me of the early days of punk rock. When a few skinhead bands,
- (such as the Cromagnons) got established, these groups did songs with
- racist and sexist garbage in it. When other punks would jump on the
- Skins about it, the skins would reply, "it's just humor."
- There were inumerable letters of this ilk in such Mags as Maximum rock
- And Roll, expressing this view. I have always called this humor thing,
- "The Skinhead Gambit". Gee, Rush makes it fell like 1982 again.
-
- Naw, it ain't racism. It's just a joke.
- Skinheads!
