and the full article will be in the edition that comes out Friday May 11th.
(If you are unsure who the band is, their single that I'm most familiar with is "I was a teenage anarchist" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7RUeMCZL3Q but I've certainly heard on the radio some of their other stuff too:
- thrash unreal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzJ2...ext=1&list=AL94UKMTqg-9CGJDCtNOeZ6M1PO5Rt5d9w
- and this one, "Stop!" has been on the radio, and used at voting time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fGmfl9ZJxo&feature=relmfu ).
Not that they are a hugely known band, but getting it discussed in Rolling Stone ought to generate some discussion.....for better or worse. Tom is married and has a kid, and the couple are staying together, so that is hopefully something that will help cast this in a positive light. Will also be interesting to see how the band does after this.
