Originally translated from DE... there was an article about him in the New York Times, featured on the Drudge Report, and then he got in trouble the same day in Austria. Bizarre. Tfine80 05:57, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

I guess the incident in Linz happended a bit earlier... Strange that it was not mentioned in the NYT article. Tfine80 17:23, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] neo-nazi skinheads

I think it is a bit too much to describe his fans as skinheads. I think of it more as the sort of "South Park" anti-PC phenomenon... Some of the conflation comes from the fact that German "skinhead" type fashion and symbolism is evolving a bit towards baggy pants and hoods and such. A lot of his controversial lyrics are similar to Eminen's early work before he made it big. Tfine80 17:41, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Good point. I basically reused some of the information from the NYTimes article today which called some of his fans skin-heads, but I have no problem with the new toned down language. --Quasipalm 17:49, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
