Description
On how to respond to conformity.
Lias Saoudi, frontman of the British band Fat White Family, joins us to talk about rock, popular culture and contemporary unfreedom. We discuss:
Why are the kids taking less drugs?
Can we respond to our nihilistic times with nihilistic art?
What is the nature of conformity today?
How to challenge conformity without sneering at the masses?
Is there a romantic revival going on? Why is Lias interested in Ivan Illich?
If living cheaply in big cities is now very difficult for artists, will something new emerge from the provinces?
