In My Undie

January 15th, 2004

Prince Paul, undie vs. mainstream hip-hop and a beginner’s guide to rockism are the subject of a pseudo-Platonic dialogue in this week’s Scene column in The Globe and Mail. A pretty surface-skimming one, I’m afraid, but it’s attracted some interesting debate and embellishment from readers already by early afternoon — the lighter side of publishing a kinda half-baked column.
