Don’t know nothin about him being autistic but he definitely is a sour grapes dickhead. I remember some interview with him about their album steady diet of nothing and he said something about it was the equivalent of a homeless man pissing in the woods for all the notoriety it brought them.. he was moaning about Nevermind being released 2 months later I think

Every interview I have ever seen with him points to him being a smug, self-centered dickhead than autistic. Love me some Fugazi, Minor Threat and Pailhead though. Doesn't stop me from wanting to see him get bullied by a black youth who doesn't understand Guilty of Being White.
Like someone said earlier in the thread, DC punks copied everything from NY. It started by Ian going up to NYC and bringing it down


Minor Threat started as a bunch of kids attending Georgetown Day, a really nice private school in Maryland. More than likely some autism.

That is how he sings though

Ian is a much better person than Henry Rollins. At least Ian would talk music with you, Rollins would just try and intimidate any fans.

Rollins, McKay, they are all music snobs.....


Minor Threat>Fugazi
