Frank Turner – Love Ire & Song Lyrics
Well a teacher of mine once told meThat life was just a list of disappoints and defeatsAnd you could only do your best,And I said "That's a fucking cop-out,you're just washed up and your tired,and when I get to your age I won't be such a coward"
.....
Let's be 1905 but not 1917,Let's be heroes, let's be martyrs, let's be radical thinkersWho never have to test drive the least of their dreamsLet's divide up the world into the damned and safeAnd then ride to the valleys like the old life brigadeAnd straighten our backs and we won't be afraidAnd they'll celebrate our deaths with a national parade

1905 was more radical than 1917, because it radically envisaged the idea of a constitutional monarchy, whereas executing the cunts and establishing the dictatorship of the proletariat was a lazy milquetoast cop-out

From Jade Goody having her cancer diagnosed on Indian TV to Kerry Katona doing interviews about her bipolar disorder to Stephen Fry writing about his depression... in both the tabloid and high-brow sections of the celebrity world, talking about being sick is not only increasingly acceptable - it's expected.

Just went on Spiked for the first time in many years. It's almost sweet the way the layout has made no concession to the last 5-10 years of progress in web design. It rigidly and steadfastly takes up the left-hand 45% of my modest monitor. Is it symbolically clinging to the left? who knows!

hi sir
is it that they're taught conflicting disciplines of empathy to all and crude managementkult self-actualisation in their formative years and can only find resolution through picking fights with strawman nannystaters against whom they seem (to themselves) bastions of free thought and levity
because that, as they say, is having your cake and fucking it too

That is what modern Leftists think of the masses – that they’re cruel, dishonest, immoral, violent, and apparently these tendencies must be tamed by depriving the oiks of their daily fix of tabloid titillation. This is the true story behind the modern Left’s enthusiasm for more state interference in the world of ideas and news: the Left once believed in people; now it despises them.

If Morrissey's autobiography is crap, how will Penguin recover from having released it as a classic? Actually, even if it's good, still some very serious questions will have to be asked about Penguin's ability to be the gatekeeper of the best of human knowledge and writing when it is willing to publish a pop star's musings alongside the greatest literature of all time. Penguin is effectively using the word classic in the same way young people now use it – not to mean a work of art of recognised and substantial value, but rather to mean "wicked, dude".

Independent going in hard on this too.
. How do you wreck overnight the reputation of a global brand that, since 1946, has built up its worldwide trust on the basis of consistent excellence, expert selection and a commitment to pick and sell only the very best? Easy, really. You chuck 67 years of editorial rigour and learning out of the corporate window and kowtow to the whims of a petulant pop icon.
Though without the dated youth speak.

i thought Moz is going in Modern Classics? either way, one could argue that a section of both lists is the pulp/genre fiction of its day, lent dignity with time
― I like to tackle hard and am crazy (Noodle Vague), Monday, 14 October 2013 10:55 (ten years ago) link
It's going to be a black-jacketed Classic according to Penguin's website. There's tonnes of pulp stuff on both lists but they're mostly notable / important books, even if they are't, strictly speaking, any good. It's bad brand management, i think, but it will probably boost the Classic imprint's revenues about 1000% this year.

Amusing(?) myself at lunchtime by leafing through today's Daily Mail, thinking, "Jesus Christ, can you believe there are cunts who get handsomely paid for writing this shite?" when I come across a full page opinion piece by former editor of the Revolutionary Communist Party's official newspaper, Mick Hume. The bold Mick, who is holding forth on Partygate, starts his piece by saying, "I'm not concerned with defending Mr. Johnson" and, I think you can guess what's coming, proceeds to spend the entire article defending Mr. Johnson. Not quite the entire article because a lot of it is spent lambasting the BBC for criticizing Mr. Johnson as part of their policy of promoting the "woke agenda of Left-liberal urban elites". The main target of his ire being, wait for it, well known Left-liberal wokester, Nick Robinson. As I said, this cunt is getting paid for this shite.
