Comments on: The Contextual Modality of Culture http://roychristopher.com/the-contextual-modality-of-culture I marshal the middle between Mathers and McLuhan.

Such as Dennis McCoy riding flatland and vert in an AFA comp while rocking Minor Threat stickers on his helmet, or as stated above, Godheadsilo album covers with BMX bikes on them. My list of interlopers could stretch through the night and into the morning, ending with Dig BMX magazine allowing me to do a two-page interview with the indie folk band Ida, but that's not the point I suppose. If anything, it's that people with alliances to one certain culture can and will take additional, alternative paths through life. You might end up going to see Billy Ray Cyrus with one BMXer that's an earnest fan, and you might end up going to see Les Savy Fav with different BMXers who are also earnest fans. I guess subcultures, luckily, appreciate that tension between the rules. I was always drawn into the interlopers between the cultures of BMX and music.

And Brian, my <i>A-Haro</i> poster is long gone, but you know you're still rocking the godheadSilo one with Cosmo in it. Oh, man, I’ve moved at least twenty times since living in Tacoma.
