They didn't promo them together, but I happened to watch the show just before which was on the music of 1977. It covered a lot, for about a 20 minute show, on the Sex Pistols, the Clash and some others of the punk movement and was quite interesting. Maybe from having watched it, I didn't think the latter show did a bad job of leading from punk, to skinhead, to white power.

I am glad they focussed on Resistance records because it seems to be way too successful. Also, I thought they did a good job of leading into how it came into being. I noticed they also made mention of the SPLC, which I totally support.

In the information we've received from SPLC and other national groups which track this kind of stuff, our human rights org. has been aware of this for some time. Based on what I already knew through our education programs, etc. I felt this was a good, valuable intro piece to reach a very wide audience. It would have been better if they'd included some advice on what people could do, as individuals, to repel such negativism, at least with references to orgs. which they could join, etc. Perhaps that is included on VH1's website.
