		I missed the original posting but from what 
	I have read the argument seems to be about how Docs
	became a fashon requirement,here's my reading of the
	story:
		Docs were(once upon a time) an inexpensive
	form of footwear(they didn't cost much and lasted).
	So they became the footwear of the "underground"
	(or whatever you wan't to call it),Punks,Skins,ect.
	This was mainly because they were cheap and also 
	they were useful in a fight and are very cumfortable
	(as good as boot runners when worn in).
		THEN they became a fashon statement for 
	every Feckhead (someone into a scene because it's
	the in thing) who were prepared to pay any price
	just to get a pair of Docs,retailers saw that they
	could charge any price and still sell(in just over
	a year the price of 14 hole Docs in Ireland went from
	IR$48 to IR$65 a rise of IR$17(33%:inflation=4%).
		So Docs went from being cheap to a fashon 
	statement.I haven't bought Docs in over 8 months
	and am now wearing hiking boots(IR$20) since my
	Docs gave up last month after 7 months continual
	wear(cost Docs=IR52,IR$7.50 a month).

WEll well well. All i have to say is that i wear my docs to work 
in(construction, brick laying, concrete pouring, ditch digging and so 
on). So dont give me any of this "utility" crap. If i'm going to be doing 
some hard labor I sure as hell want to be as comfortable as possible.

Got myself a brand spanking new pair of GPs for half the price of Docs.  They
come with steel caps too so people can tread on my toes to their hearts'
content at gigs now without causing toenail loss.  Seen a few other sturdy
numbers around that people have picked up on the cheap - Chinese Navy boots,
Telecom Workers' Boots ... oh yeah, and some custom job a guy did himself
involving armoured plating for his shins :)

I thought they were located in Chicago now.

Anyway, they are way cool.  Kind of a mixture of funk,
ska, klezmer, polka, etc.  The tape they have been
selling is all funk tunes, the 7" they have out has one
eclectic cut and one funk cut, and they have a new CD out
which I don't yet have.

Is this the film about Nazi's and Fillipino (?) Restauranteurs?, if so then
it showed here at the film festival.  A friend of mine went & said it was

that's a bright post, ben.  i don't know what the big deal is with docs  
getting popular.  so what?  if you like them, wear them.  it's just like  
the new resurrgence of tatts/piercing.  people are bitching because it's
