Who gives a f*** where they went to school. Lou Reed went to Syracuse University. I was reading a article by Lester Bangs today about the Clash where he called all this stuff about credibilty being bulls***, that the point of rock n' roll is that its an arena in which you can reinvent yourself. Strummer was middle class. So what?
What matters is that the Kooks are s*** and that they probably sold more records than the Velvet Underground hence the scorn.
