It seems to me like she gave the kid some good advice. If his main
concerns are business related and about having a good pension built up by
the time he's 48, maybe he'd be better off working at something else and
just wearing the punk clothes at weekends.. A lot of these bands put on
the rock 'n roll uniform but don't bother too much about creating anything
original musically. I was watching an MTV awards yesterday and one of
these ridiculous bands came up with blood splattered on their faces and
clothes and started thanking their manager, accountant, record company etc.
Very edgy and rebellious..
