[lbo-talk] The Fall, Buzzcocks promote Mitsubishi SUVs

[James Heartfield]

Maybe I am missing something, but I don't remember these punk bands being 
hostile to debauched excess, Iggy Pop is about the age range that Carnival 
Cruise is aiming at, and Marc Bolan's commitment to the revolution was 
pretty tongue in cheek - indeed John Peel made him the archetype of a sell 
out in his memoirs. We are all getting older.

Here in Ireland, T Rex's "Children of the Revolution" is being used in
an ad for a bank.
