My point is not that people shouldn't be allowed to talk about easy
listening just because I think it's got fuck all to do with mod.
What I am saying is that why shouldn't someone post a message about new
wave style bands when there are a lot of mods who are into this sort of
music? As long as something has got some kind of mod connection it
seems legitimate to talk about it here.
As for the talking about fighting bit, I may have misinterpreted SPC but
to me he/she didn't seem to be glamourising violence as part of a
lifestyle at all. I don't really want to get drawn into an argument on
behalf of an American whom I have never met but I just think people were
being unduly harsh on his post which seemed to me to be both relevant
and of at least as much interest as most things on this list.
I agree with you totally that people who think violence is somehow cool
are sadly mistaken and that racism/white power is misguided.
