Ah, sorry, didn't search. Great minds though...

I could have picked any number of threads to post this on, but it seems as relevant here as anywhere. Can I recommend Jon Ronson's podcast, 'things fell apart', which tells a number of 'origin stories' about the culture wars. Both series are very very good, but I think the second is probaby...

GSTK does seem well past it's sell by. We need a song that can unite not divide. Something modern but timeless. With meaning. And near universal popularity. I propose Pulp's 'Common People'.
