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?
