 ::::::I found this interesting:""Ian: Like Straight Edge, people have taken it to an extreme...as far as i'm concerned all we did was put out an idea... if people wanna hear it as preaching if that's what they want.  Straight edge to me is someone who is alert enough to benefit from what he or she is doing...""Lyle: the drug and alcohol is only one side of it anyway, it's alot more than that, there are other things that can sidetrack you...""Ian: That's what ""don't Fuck"" means... alot of people think that to be straight edge you can't drink, smoke, or have sex and that's silly... what the don't fuck thing is that the whole getting laid and getting head thing""Lyle: living for sex""Ian: following your penis around is fucking people up more than anything""From a Minor Threat interview in Touch & Go zine from 1983, before they broke up. To me it sounds like Ian was under the impression that his lyrics had inspired the movement, and the three rules of sXe had come directly from what he said. But, he wasn't limiting it to those things things, it could be anything, even playing golf. So is sXe a movement to not do drugs, or is it a movement to live life without being controlled by substances, bad habits, or even your dick... To me the movement is about self-control, not about abstaining from drugs. Abstaining from drugs is such a small part of it. Anyway, this article is pretty neat. http://history.louisvillehardcore.com/index.php?title=Lexicon:Straight_Edge   06:31, 17"
