I'm beginning to appreciate the wonders of Youtube as a research tool.
One can find out more about TV programmes, bands, anime whatever. You can also watch the trailer for my brother Don's current film project:

He's working on documentary about kids from one of the tougher parts of New York, where he lives, doing a Shakespeare production. (I dare not quote any of the details as I'm bound to get them wrong. Accuracy is not my strong point!)
What fascinates me most is that the headmaster at the school is wearing a Ramones T shirt. You never saw any headmaster at Harrow County Boys School wearing a rock and roll garment. Disgraceful!
Then again I wonder how cool the kids think that is. The Ramones had their heyday about 500 years ago.
I could lend him my TV on the Radio T shirt.
Or how about a Gil Scott-Heron one? Now there is a man with cred!
What does the headmaster at Harrow County Boys school wear today? In England dress code might not have changed after all. But it is some 40-50 years since we went to school!
SvaraRaderaOur kids now have a headmaster that at least dresses in jeans. But she would probably not dare to stand out wearing an old t-shirt like that. The dress code for head masters here in the countryside is not to stand out from the rest...
But Ramones never have been a big name here...
