Another Punk Britannia review, and some middle-aged angst
I've been thinking and writing a lot about punk lately. And I don't know if I want to think and write about it any more. It's very easy when a lot of your thinking and writing is done online to find yourself trapped inside the same conversation. But I never wanted to be defined by my past.

You're history: Punk Britannia review
In honour of the jubilee (yes, I know), the Guardian asked some 60-year-old writers to ruminate on their lives. Sean O'Brien, in a rather good piece, wrote: 'One of the mixed benefits of ageing is reading accounts of your lifetime by people who weren't there.'
Shit. That means I'm going to have to get used to it.
