my friend in WV knew some girl years ago who grew up in the same town as the Haze & she described him as the local weirdo cruising around in a beatup old car that your parents told you to avoid.

Kogan:
*"PBS as I've been using the term." I meant a couple of things by it, which was part of the confusion:
(i) A metaphor. I was saying that the indie-alternative-fanzine network is playing a role in popular music and youth culture similar to the one that the Public Broadcasting Service plays in the broader culture. (Sinker once told me the BBC analog to PBS, but I don't remember it. This is how PBS describes itself: "A trusted community resource, PBS uses the power of noncommercial television, the Internet and other media to enrich the lives of all Americans through quality programs and education services that inform, inspire and delight... It features television's best children's, cultural, educational, history, nature, news, public affairs, science and skills programming.") Not that Flipper and GG Allin (for instance) would have been welcome on the real PBS, but that they were our PBS. "I mean a certain PBS head (attitude), which can include a cult taste for shitty horror movies, pro wrestling, African pop, comic books, Hasil Adkins. All this pseudofun is a covering for a mind set that's ruled by PBS. We're making horror movies safe for PBS. We have met PBS, and it is us. I mean an imaginary PBS of the future, with pro wrestling, splatter films, and leftist analyses of the Capitalist Entertainment Industry (scored by a reformed Gang of 4). All rendered lame in the context of our appreciation."
