Errata

Oh darn

Well, I've been wrong before but I just got finished listening to a 
taped interview w/ Sonic Youth and they claim to have come up
with the "Youth" moniker before they ever heard of hardcore.
Still, Thurston said the lead singer from Faith ( a d.c. hardcore
group) was a prime influence in his later work. Also, he dug
the spirit of the movement with band members circulating through
the audience (and not sequestering themselves in dressing rooms
w/ lines of coke) and the doggedness of making each song say 
something (As I said before).  Oh well, guess I'm the "testestain"
afterall.  Anyone want a copy of this interview?  It's being
transcribed for the d.c. period, btw, so you can see it eventually.
