This is a very accurate graph of anything in my lifetime in the US.

@Lightfighter

The same graph used to work for the UK, except with Thatcher instead of Reagan. But then Brexit happened and we got another sharp dip in the ‘good things’ line.

@david_chisnall Could definitely add a second dotted line with an acceleration of red and green with Brexit/Trump and it would be accurate on both sides of the pond.

@gunchleoc @Lightfighter @david_chisnall that's what I was gonna say! That video would not have been as epic without a senile Ronnie
@gunchleoc @Lightfighter @david_chisnall would like to know - where’s the satirical snark now in pop music? “I modelled shirts for Van Huesen” “Did the Earth move for ya Nancy?” Etc. I’m sure it’s still there somewhere and I’m just an old git.

@bobthomson70 You still get it when satirists make music. My favorite one right now: https://youtube.com/watch?v=S-Jo-djilvo

Most of their stuff is German language though.

@gunchleoc @Lightfighter @david_chisnall for sure yeah, Radio 4 choc full of it. I’m more thinking of when I was a teen and it was big selling singles.

@bobthomson70 I guess the modern equivalent of that is to get a few million views on YouTube, which they do for some of their songs. This one has less than 1/2 million, but they have a German language music video up with 40 million views.

Of course, most musicians don't have their own TV show 😁

@david_chisnall @Lightfighter In Germany, we had the criminal and corrupt Helmut Kohl… for 16 loooong years.
