Nevertheless, July will herald the first national pop strike. For the purposes of Pop Strike all music is pop music. S Club 7, Schoenberg, Laibach and Lolly - you are now all equal. This is not the point of Pop Strike. Getting rid of all the pop dross is not the point of Pop Strike.
Promotion is relentless.
Even my own works of genius such as Baader Meinhof are punted out to restaurants by my own record company. I don't want to listen to Baader Meinhof any more than I want to listen to Judy Garland while choking on my sushi. The more astute or educated reader will by now have noticed that the seeds of the first national pop strike can be traced to the art strikes of Gustav Metzger and Stewart Home, whom I have shamelessly plagiarised here. Metzger founded auto-destructive art in the late 1950s, whereby buildings, sculptures and structures would be realised only to be destroyed or to disintegrate. Unsurprisingly, auto-destructive art did not receive much public funding.
