Rip your hat to Crass, they were ahead of there time this is 1978..
Or as Shaw put it, all progress depends on the unreasonable man. Trying to adapt the world instead of adapting to it.
I’ve always thought it a great principle to follow
Me too
I am unreasonable
early on George uses the line ‘ I’m mad as hell and I’m not taking it anymore’
it comes from a film called ‘Network’ from 1976
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_(1976_film)
I remember Charlotte Church using the line some years back too,
it’s a very good film, it translates to today very well and also is a reminder that the world was just as insane in the 1970’s as it is today,
I think anyone revisiting the film would see how this line would work well today as a protest cry,
I don’t know why, but the link to this is just not appearing for me. If I ‘refresh’ it appears for a moment, then disappears again. Odd…
Sorry – not sure why
