Integrity: Not just any ole' nine-letter word

OK class. For today's show and tell, I thought I'd leave my cuddly, baby-blue teddy bear at home and instead share an interview with Minor Threat/Fugazi dude-extraordinaire Ian MacKaye for all the kiddies to enjoy. Check out his talk with the Electric Cafe at the Black Lodges site: http://blacklodges.com/features/index.php?kat=1&detail=364 For all his quotable quotables, MacKaye's a shoo-in for the next edition of Bartlett's. "I think it is really absurd for a sneaker to represent a lifestyle." Thank you, Mr. MacKaye. Going by a recent article in Pitchfork, it sounds like you need to have a talk with some of your peers in the music world. Except those dead ones, but there's always a Ouija board.
