Well 2020 is over, but 2021 isn't looking so hot so let's go back to the 80s for a bit to try and get our minds off things. Originally I thought about posting the Judas Priest song 'You've got another thing comin' but after the last couple of days I thought better of it.
Instead let's settle for a good old fashioned Pink Floyd video for the song 'Not Now John' which features geisha in lingerie, regular joes playing cards, a sexy prostitute being ignored by them, a Japanese boy falling to his death and welding, lots and lots of welding.
Warning This One Has Naughty Language!
History:
Despite the political content of the album and the specific references in other songs to public figures of the time, the "John" of the title is not intended to refer to any particular person named John. It is being used in the British colloquial sense as a placeholder name, where "John" can be employed in the same way as "mate", "pal", "buddy", or "Guv" to refer to anyone to whom one is speaking, particularly if the speaker does not know their name. At the time, this usage of "John" as a general means of address to others would have been particularly associated with blue-collar workers, who were the people being most strongly affected by the changes to manufacturing and trade referred to in the song.
