Now playing - General Public. It’s a little dated now but is still so good (so cool it’s hot, hot, hot).

I'm continually disappointed at how clueless the #generalpublic is about how government works 💀

Album artwork for Hot You're Cool by General Public from All the Rage

Just spun "Hot You're Cool" by General Public on Flashback! 📻 This track featured Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger from The Beat, proving that ska-punk energy translates perfectly to new wave grooves. Pure '80s gold right here!

General Public album All The Rage propped up against my stereo shelf, which is surrounded by books and bric-a-brac. The cover photos by Peter Ashworth are two photos placed side by side, the left Dave Wakeling, the right Ranking Roger. The band name is along the top, album title, stylized as ...all the rage is alongbthe top of the two photos, and 'from H block to springbok it's...' is along the bottom. A black and white illustration of a set of eyes with frowning eyebrows is centred near the bottom middle in a red box. Wakeling is cross armed, holding his shoulders in a black coat with barbed wire before him. Ranking Roger is in a light brown coat opened to reveal his chest.

What they've done is, keep him as far away from the #GeneralPublic as possible.

I have v little #contact 2 #generalpublic. I go 2 #church maybe to 1service/event maybe once a week/fortnight. I sign up 2 #online events but v rarely actually go on onlineevents. I don't go2 any #clubs /societies. I don't c #friends. I go 2 #shops briefly, pm maybe 2-3x week,just by myself. #julia

All over the #world & in my #life - #Satan, #Satanists, the #evilprogramme, #john & #jayne have brought #bitterness.
I #accept this bitterness.
Maybe its the price worth paying for the #generalpublic 2become aware how #prevalent Satanists are? #julia #juliawilkinson #fraud #forgiveness #acceptance

They played it a few minutes ago for the pre-show of #Lost80sLive. I'm hoping #GeneralPublic plays it tonight.

Stage at the Toyota Music Factory in Irving, TX

Ready to see the #Lost80sLive concert and #GeneralPublic in particular. I saw #TheEnglishBeat at the Grenada a few months ago and Dave Wakeling hit it out of the park then!

“EVERTHING is on the internet”, right?

#DidYouKnow that seemingly #UnregulatedInformation casually presented to the #GeneralPublic isn’t 🌎 available?
🤷🏾‍♀️
I didn’t, but it makes sense.
