In an otherwise on-the-mark obituary for Johnny Ramone, the Economist gives us this odd observation.
His political views were wildly out of step. Almost uniquely in the rock-music industry, he was a staunch conservative.
The rock music industry? We’re not talking about David Geffen or Britney Spears or some Warner Music A&R guy here. Wouldn’t “rock music subculture” be the more appropriate choice of words? Unless you want to imply that all those liberal rock bands are part of some nefarious overpaid elite or something.
