I worry about it. I hate it. The offence, the racist and homophobic stuff. But that doesn’t mean I want to withdraw any of it. Fact is, this is a study of what was out there. Don’t look back? I certainly don’t regret that I bothered to notice, be a witness. Like the moving finger and the writing on the wall — numbering the days of our kingdom, weighing us in the balance, finding us wanting — these pictures are a time travel Twitter feed into the heads of the angry, disaffected, pissed, pissed-off, self-righteous and yes... even some that were elated too. All from forty years ago but still ringing bells, God save us.
