Wow! Can't wait. Thanks for the report.
One small note: I don't think you could say the Slits were covering Massive
Attack's version of "Man Next Door"; I'm sure their own version from 1980,
particularly Adrian Sherwood's heavy dub mix, might have influenced Massive
Attack's later one.
"When the strongest nation in the world can be tied up for four years in a
war...with no end in sight, when the richest nation in the world can't
manage its own economy, when the nation with the greatest tradition of the
rule of law is plagued by unprecedented lawlessness, when a nation that has
been known for a century for equality of opportunity is torn by
unprecedented racial violence, and when the President of the United States
cannot travel abroad or to any major city at home without fear of a hostile
demonstration - then it's time for new leadership for the United States of
America."
-Richard Nixon, 1968
