[edit] Roots Rock Prepschool
Billy Childish and his band Thee Headcoats, which also has a reply band Thee Headcoatees, which is characterized by women riding Vespas, is an example of what would have happened if rock and roll had been invented by cool British high school kids, like wondering what would have happened if rockabilly had been invented by The Cramps. Or if minstrelsy had been invented by the Beatles. Instead of escaped slaves meeting in the middle of the swamp at 'Congo Squre' to start brewing American music in colonial Louisiana, as actually happened, picture the cast of Diner putting together music like they know it could be.mcdogm--64.12.116.70 12:02, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Expand
Material on Billy Childish's row with Jack White was removed on the basis that it "doesn't need to dominate so much of the article". The reason it does so is that there isn't enough article there to start with. The solution is not to cut out material, but to add material. The row with White shows Childish's character and sense of humour, and was/is the subject of considerable interest. I have reinstated it. Please discuss on this page before cutting this referenced material. Thanks
