wasn't his father some sort of ambassador?  which
might be what created his interest in global politics,
which ended up being a distinctly clash contribution
to punk.

but to pick on the stroke (my point) -- i have no
trouble imagining many early punks were middle class
-- but i do not believe many were from wealthy homes. 
and i really am put off by the whole "my daddy bought
me a band" priviledge of the strokes.  

but that's just my old clash-inspired class warfare
side speaking up.
