I don't know, we seem to live in strange times. Growing up, I felt I was surrounded by all sorts of rebels in the arts and culture. People who weren't afraid to speak out about all sorts of things. John Lennon, for example, railed against the wars in Biafra and Vietnam. The old servility was questioned and then dumped, people didn't know their places anymore. It felt... refreshing. Now, and for years and years, it seems like the same people I despised and had contempt for, the servile middle class, have returned, like those dreadful 'prefects' at the Guardian, so ambitious, so ready to serve without question their betters higher up the social ladder, so greasy, yet they fight one another to slither up it. Sometimes I think my youth happened in a kind of 'golden age' of plenty, freedom and courage. People seem so ####ing dull and dim these days.
