"Does anybody know what a rude boy is?" ha-ha, nice one! Man, you don't come from Northern England. Chuffed with this though, I been struggling for yonks to get my head around Debbie Harry's high-pitched drawl and good ole boy Terry moulds it with his Coventry accent, class! All hail Terry Hall, the only popstar who kept his English accent.

a British "Rude Boy" is a Ska fan in a Two Tone suit.
I was one. Ska and reggae.
One life Jah Rule.

this version is better than a original with blondie...

You've got a point.

You may have a point : ) What I meant was that some artists have a cool sound/style but you can tell it's really contrived and that alot of effort has gone into their styling. Terry Hall just seems very natural.

I have taken a brief look at the definitions and didactic (used in this context) is to overburden with factual information while tautology is to use different words with the same meaning. In my opinion 'cool', when referring to personal style, is a vernacular term which refers to an apparent lack of effort.
cyberdude61 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
tautology or didactic ?
You say
cyberdude61 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Do any of you know what a "Rude boy" Is?
vapourmile (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Effortlessly cool? Isn't that a tautology? Like, exactly identical?
