Contempt and the punk narcotic



"Contempt is something few can carry, primarily because it argues ultimately for either murder or suicide. Godard named it with his film which involved international film production itself, but in popular culture it was probably a New York thing even then, introduced and branded as we now say by Andy Warhol." Joe Carducci riffs on Malcolm McLaren in this week's issue of the New Vulgate.

All three books referenced are well worth reading.
