I guess everyone needs to make a living though. Then again, good on them if they can make him wear a shirt.

Hardly punk.

The Stooges were at least 15 years before punk hit.

Thats why he's a punk icon, He was punk before anyone else had even heard of it.

Of course, the punk that "hit" bigtime was utter utter shit and lame as fuck.

Oh. Yeah.

Coincidence - I'd say it's Gubb's fault!

What do you mean by about time?

The guy is seriously loaded. His accountant invested his money in Apple Computer stock before they hit the big time.

Well fuck, Don't expect me to know what I'm talking about.

I'm sure I read an interview where he claimed he had never made a dime, But I reserve the right to be wrong, completely and utterly wrong even.
