They think it's good because it's on Spotify and it's old. Culture without commentary flattens the curve.07 Sep 2026 17:57 +0000at://did:plc:kuvvsjrjwlsi7o7yb6cjwre3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mux3h5hxq22zhttps://bsky.app/profile/librarygordon.bsky.social/post/3muwyc5xra22zIn 2004, still living at home, I went to Reading fest and, before I left, set the video (yes!) to record the highlights show. My mum thought the video hadn't come on in time and, being very helpful, changed it to record the BBC highlights of a major literary event, or 'READING FESTIVAL'.

Young would-be artists are all callow, useless, bumbling hypocrites and you should stay away from them?

It barely even makes sense, as he was a young child in 1980 and must have got this years later. A sad, anxious 'fame-is-awful' record, finding comfort in synth? Why did it appeal? And now I can't ask him.

Including, possibly summing up the age, 'He introduces a song about “living in the moment” and several members of the audience choose to record his performance of the song on their phone.'

This appears insane. It's almost that old Ronnie Corbett joke: "Golf, golf, always bloody golf!" my wife said to me. Naturally, I was surprised. I mean, you don't expect to see anyone on the fairways at that time of night.
