  “In the beginning of the twentieth century you could not see the ground for clever men.

Chesterton, The Napoleon of Notting Hill (1905)

  #JukeboxFridayNight #History @debe@mastodon.nz posted a song by Cliff Richard called Makin' History which reminded me of Making History by Adam and the Ants. This song was one of several differences between the UK and US versions of King of the Wild Frontier, slotted between Jolly Roger and The Human Beings on Side 2 where the Americans got Physical (You're So). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGCFY81z7xI
