I agree. I sometimes fall into the trap of romanticizing punk but really in its true original form it was the music of desperation, a cry out in the only real way people had to scream in a way to be heard. Ryan, On the show he said that, it was specifically in the context of people who did this farming (don't remember what crop) that they ground up and made a paste of and then sold for not much. They basically worked sun up to sundown every day in order to barely subsist. That wasn't about a tendency, it was about specific people with very hard lives.

It's not as hard as you think. They tend to yield a high amount of productivity per hour of labor (literally gathering low hanging fruit). Which is why they have trouble adjusting to industrial changes. But of course, you're right and Sting is a moron. From what I recall he nicknamed himself.

I so identify with Bourdain on many angles-similar time frame,locale,etc. This article rings true for feelings that I gather from his work. I often think of the Ramones,"Carbona Not Glue" when I watch him. This piece seemed to channel Hunter S. Thompson if not in style certainly in tone. Fear and Loathing in CBGB's perhaps?
