Mashed into the extended-play M.I.A. discussion (thanks to Simon Reynolds, I guess) is her status as an art schoolie. Which is supposed to represent something or other. But anyway, there's been lots of art-school rockers and poppers, yes? Who are they?

The ones I can think of off the top of my head:
John Lennon
Talking Heads (were they all art students? I can't remember)
Marc Almond
Syd Barrett
Chuck D.
