Shorties (Jaime Hernandez & Gilbert Hernandez on Love and Rockets, Hurray for the Riff Raff Covered the Eurythmics, and more)
Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez discussed their comics series Love and Rockets with the New York Times.
Unlike the superheroes the brothers grew up reading about, the characters in “Love and Rockets” come in all sizes and body types. “With superheroes you kind of understand it, because everyone has to be in shape to wear the tights,” Gilbert said. “But in the real world, everybody looks different.” In Palomar, there are heroes with potbellies and wrinkles and pockmarked faces.
Hurray for the Riff Raff covered Eurhythmics' "Sweet Dreams."

What people in these bands are doing is actually a bastardised continuation of the counterculture project of the late 60s. They are aware of all the things that went wrong the first time around, but nevertheless the desires for an alternative for social and cultural transformation persist, by other means – by making music in bands. These bands represented an alternative to the Thatcherite change in politics.
