Mick Jones was bought up in a small flat in a tower block by his grandmother. Topper Headon was from a working class family in Kent.
I know Paul Simonen's father was a civil servant but that's a job title that covers so much difference in pay scale there's no real way of knowing how well off they were. I almost got a job in the civil service and that was only working in the post office.

They'd hardly get you in to an exclusive school, which is what this was about.
Or at least I thought it was.

This tangent of conversation came about from me disagreeing with Thinkofthechildren's claim that "most artists usually come from a poor background". A few posts later he took it to talking about exclusive schools for some reason but that's not the really the core of what was being discussed.

Lady Antebellum and REM, U of GA Radiohead, Abingdon School, Oxfordshire Coldplay, University College London A post college band: The Doors, UCLA grads As for Right Wing artists, I think many probably change views as their lifestyle changes. See Peter Garett, lead singer for Midnight Oil. |

I don't think it is fair to say all musicians that are consverative are bad people because I think like this: Are there are idiotic consverative artists, of course but that is because I am a Liberal. DUH. But look at people like Kid Rock, Carrie Underwood, Garth Brooks, and others. Kid Rock maybe lack goodness but he is not crazy. He is actually has openly said that he is a republican but everyone loves him regardless.
I mean you also have very idiotic liberal artists too. Some of them are really sick (won't list names, I don't have time right now, my english is ****ed up right now). But there are tons of idiotic liberal artists. But one really bad consverative is Ted Nugent. His music is alright and I can tolerate but his politics are so wrong. This man cares about guns than anything else. That is pretty sad.

AND this is all fine and dandy, but don't try to make yourself into the poster boy for the right-wingers and the tea people. Don't be a ****ing hypocrite. Yay guns!
