Thread Name: Do you like 'Little Boxes'?
Subject: RE: Do you like 'Little Boxes'?
Pete Seeger's songs 'Garbage', 'Cement Octopus' and 'Bless the Grass' are much better. They avoid any sneeriness while still describing a problem. Utah Phillips' 'All Used Up' is also a good case in point. Or pretty much ANY song by X Ray Spex.

Purely AESTHETIC dissatisfaction with capitalism is always naff, a bit Sting, a bit Prince Charles.

Those cookie-cutter doctors, spending all those years learning how to make people well. Robots!
