Great post! The Kinks' "Dead End Street" takes up similar themes. "Common People" is really a brilliant piece of work. I've used it in upper year seminar classes to get students to think about the experience of class. And I've done my own 'class in music' posts on the blog: https://poprockrecord.com/2019/11/19/and-now-for-something-surprisingly-musical-class/
That was really interesting. I look forward to eventually watching the movie. I was hoping Apple would have a Black Friday Special but apparently they didn't!
That's Entertainment is one of Paul Weller's finest songs.
The Jam is my all time favorite band and I consider Paul Weller one of the greatest songwriters currently living. Him and Ray Davies.
Nice piece!
Thanks, man!
I’m the same way trying to watch a movie. My mind usually drifts off to something musical.
I'm so easily distracted these days...

Thank you! I feel like that strain of guitar pop music really took off with The Kinks.

This article greatly brightened my morning.
Thanks for the kind words. Glad you dug it. Joking aside, we really enjoyed the film.
You should watch more movies if we're going to get essays like this.
Ha! I almost didn't publish it for various weird reasons. Glad you dug it. Thanks for the kind words, as always.
