who said that? Some head...'Stereotyped'? <br /><br />who said that? Some head up their own arse academic? There is nothing wrong whatsoever with being an expert on a particular subject - it's a Very Good Thing. If you need medical attention do you want a specialist or a generalist?<br /><br />I would suspect (although I don't know the circumstances, but I have suffered similar) that whoever said that is a bit jealous that you have knowledge that they don't.<br /><br />The people that matter want you to write about punk, because you know what you're talking about. Write a book on car mechanics and I might not read it, but punk, yeah, I'll buy it. I actually sometimes wonder why you're not on the telly more - some of the punk documentaries over the last few years seem to rely on the same faces that get wheeled out, faces that I don't remember being involved much at the time. <br /><br />And you've made a film. So F**k 'em.<br /><br />There's a line in a John Otway song - 'it is my shoes that walk across the stage to the applause'. Remember that<br /><br />On. Your.
