Another major advantage of a live Rancid show is the chance it offers to see what the band looks like. Many punk rockers these days have close-cropped hair--often dyed some horribly unnatural color. This style inevitably makes them look silly and cute, a far cry from the mohawk and leather fashion sensibilities of the original 70s punks. Rancid could certainly be called silly looking, but they are not cute in the traditional sense of the word. Guitarist/vocalist Tim Armstrong, formerly of punk/ska act Operation Ivy, sported a leather jacket, combat boots and spiked mohawk that was pushing...
...high and pop. The museum's opening is a prelude to the much larger, $60 million | Smithsonian Indian edifice to be opened in Washington in 2001. And it coincides with the vast, vastly earnest, 6-hr. recasting of Indian history on Ted Turner's TBS (the sound track, featuring Mohawk singer-songwriter Robbie Robertson, forms the basis of a critically acclaimed CD).

...level regional malls with indoor waterfalls have replaced the towns as economic centers, is that they were wonderful, warm places where even the local drunk was part of the patchwork and where attention was paid. That's the genial view taken by novelist Richard Russo in The Risk Pool, Mohawk and his new book Nobody's Fool, three funny, loose-jointed yarns about backwater burgs in upstate New York. Doubtless it is contrary to recall the rest of the truth, which is that small towns were rigidly small-minded. That was the engine that drove American literature for several generations...
