Hi Chip,

I couldn't get most of the links to work but, yeah, I know. The thing is, there's a tonne of such journalism about. The neo-Nazi music trope is trotted out every few years. The Observer did something recently on it. For liberal-minded readers of music magazines it fulfills the same role as horror movies. It's probably due another little flurry of tying in light of the continuing growth of 'emo' and latter-day goth 'culture'.

At the end of the day, they mostly all say: Skinheads and other Hilter-wanabees listen to music! Shock horror!

And it's bad music! Oh no!

Some go a bit further - 'ban these evil musicans', that sort of thing.

On that 29 page overview of white supremacist groups, does each member get an entire page to himself?

I didn't even mean to open up this particular bottle of the devil's buttermilk, but there you have it.

Jason.
