Can it really be 31 years ago? For those youth who think they and they alone invented clubbing and getting out of your head, and for those like me who were there (and for those who just pretend they were there) here’s Wigan Casino as it was, from the 1977 documentary, This England:

Christopher Hitchens in his very entertaining 3-part piece on his late-life quest for physical and cosmetic redemption:

Abruptly I was suffering intermittently from what a friend once called “CRAFT syndrome.” (The acronym represents the words “Can’t Remember a Fucking Thing.”)

I give it 6 months, max, before Pfizer starts marketing a new anti-CRAFT drug. (And maybe another 24 hrs before the cheap CRAFT drug spam hits mailboxes worldwide. If not sooner.)
