Ü UR C OVER
Here portrayed is the age-old conflict between the established older
generation who have helped make it what it is, and the young, whose
protests often take the form of outrageous styles and behavior. The elder
model is a professional paioter (with an executive-looking face). The
younger is a character actor specializing in a "Punker" look. He has
appeared on television dramas and in rock videos.
