    No, the Olds know how blessed they are. It's the Yoofs wot take it all for granted.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Simon Scharma on that excellent BBC series said that the Pistols were a perfect example of how Romanticism went on to define the modern world.

    Which series?

    I was thinking more of Dylan and the Beatles initially.

    Punk is frequently used as an example of a million different things. Its enduring musical legacy is a kind of 'you had to be there' sound.

    And still my favourite punk band is American

    This series. Excellent. {And I did a whole uni course called From the Enlightenment to romanticism 1780-1830.}

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000mfnj

    Just checked. I ripped each of the 3 episodes for a mate who was abroad. I still have them in dropbox if you want a stream or download link.

    Well worth it. Better than anything you'll find on Netflix etc atm.

    Brilliant.

    You'll have to watch but Sid Viscous was more Byronic - mad, bad and dangerous to know - than Dylan or the Beatles which is I think one of the points he was making.

    Let me know if you want links PMed.

    Schama is to historians, what Slater is to cookery programmes. Widely knowledgable but deeply cringe to watch.

    The one series I watched on a subject I'd studied deeply, he blew me away.
