Thread Name: Do you like 'Little Boxes'?
Subject: RE: Do you like 'Little Boxes'?
I reckon Little Boxes is one of those instances of 'two nations separated by a common language'. The US in the 50s and 60s probably outdid the UK for conformity - which is saying something. I don't believe we Brits could have generated Senator McCarthy, even our fascists like Mosely were a half-hearted, narcissistic bunch compared to their european counterparts.
We're a pretty bloody-minded lot as Mudcat is evidence to.
