I was in one of those designer outlet village things in the north of the Midlands this morning. Yer know the kind of place; pretty much just an ordinary retail park only with posher toilets and no Sports Direct. I got to thinking while I was waiting for my flat white and chocolate tiffin; what would William Shakespeare have thought of penning while he was standing here?
Shakespeare: Rebel, socialist, comedian, Brummie.
I adore Shakes, I adore him and his work so much that I've quoted him on my Fab profile page. I adore him so much that one day I'm going to try and read one of his plays.
ShakespearE was all of those things but what would he have thought and more importantly, what would he have written about modern culture? By modern, I mean anything from say, the explosion of youth culture in the late 1950s. How would he have written a Beatles song or described man landing on the moon...or Bobby Moore? Kenneth Wolstenholme's "they think it's all over" went down in history and is played out for a month every 4 years but if anybody could have topped that, then Shakey would have.
When Thatch ripped British Gas out of the people's hands and sold it off to any willing buyer, I reckon given the opportunity she would have hired Shaky Baby to move it on. "Where art though Sid" and even Arthur Scargill would have jumped in quicker than you could say "s'port the miners".
So I put the challenge to the Fab forum, you can nail this. Great things will happen if Fab can pull this thread off. Give me your vision of Bill's take on the modern world.
I know one thing; 100% nailed on, The Speare would have been a Style Council fan.

There was a great play called King Charles III, which was adapted for TV and written in blank verse which examines a constitutional crises when Charles refuses to sign a new piece of legislation. |

Beatles Shakespearean Sonnet:
Til Th’re Wast Thee
Th're w're bells on a hill
but i nev'r hath heard those folk ringing
nay, i nev'r hath heard those folk at all
till th're wast thee
th're w're birds in the sky
but i nev'r did see those folk winging
nay, i nev'r did see those folk at all
till th're wast thee
then th're wast music and wond'rful roses
those gents bid me in sweet fragrant meadows
of dawn and dew
th're wast loveth all 'round
but i nev'r hath heard t singing
nay, i nev'r hath heard t at all
till th're wast thee
then th're wast music and wond'rful roses
those gents bid me in sweet fragrant meadows
of dawn and dew
th're wast loveth all 'round
but i nev'r hath heard t singing
nay, i nev'r hath heard t at all
till th're wast thee
till th're wast thee

In 1972 a cracketh commando unit wast hath sent to prison by a military court f'r a crime those gents didn't commit.
These men promptly did escape from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angels und'rground.
The present day, still did want by the gov'rnment, those gents survive as soldi'rs of f'rtune.
If 't be true thee has't a problem - if 't be true nay one else can holp - and if 't be true thee can findeth those folk - haply thee can hire: The A Team.
