O'Connells and the trash it brings in
You glanced over the point. The main point was the show itself was not a racist show, as you know boneheads will go to shows and create problems matter who's playing. As for the matter of 20 somethings relating to working class 1960s UK youth, I would say (being past my 20s) for me it was total dissalusionment with both mainstream culture, as well as a culture of punks with trust funds pretending to be homeless. From 14 on, I had to work labor jobs, eventually putting myself through college. Now, older and an educator by trade all I can point to in the most simplistic of terms is tribalism and group think.

O'Connells and the trash it brings in
A. Not all skinheads are racist or white supremicist. Please educate yourselfon the multi ethnic roots of skinheads born out of 1960's working class UK immigrant communities as well as Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice. B. The headlining act comprised members of Jewish and mixed race decent. C. Another act comprise members of Hawaiian and Asian decent. Please don't not propigate half truths of this nature, this show was not a racist rock concert.— January 12, 2009 10:42 a.m.
