Before he ran for president, a young Beto O’Rourke dabbled in criticism, fiction and more. And he wasn’t half bad
” is endearing for its very ’90s calibration of who is authentically punk and who isn’t; those who know all the lines in—and listen to nothing but the Sex Pistols—are, says Beto, phonies. In another cDc piece, afrom 1988, O’Rourke and his pal Arlo Klahr, with whom O’Rourke would start a punk band called Foss, interrogate a self-described Nazi and KKK member. Mostly, they just let him ramble, denying the Holocaust, praising the leadership of Hitler and defending neo-Nazis as loving Christians.
At the bottom of “A Feature on Money,” I found the Cult’s usual libertarian contempt for copyright , but also a number to call. The idealistic Beto—the man who by force of sheer charisma can rally Americans to donate millions of dollars inwant to start a movement back then! “Remember, we are the next generation, and will soon rule the world,” he wrote. I dialed up the 915 number.
Early Beto hits the spot if you’re feeling nostalgic for the days of debates among punks or the interface of early web boards, but if you want to find one real radical cell in O’Rourke, you’re out of luck. It seems O’Rourke—minor indie showoff turned normcore candidate for president—once thought his fellow Americans might consider money the root of all evil. And he hoped we could actively converse about it, if we just called his dad.
