For some odd reason I only discovered this rather ominous song recently, and was mighty impressed by its' timely message. Altho it was released all the way back in 1990, I find that it could not be more relevant to today's world, in which unchecked capitalism is throttling millions of people (or billions, really) around the world, while the rich and the oligarchs only get richer and more immune to consequences.

Nice, but what is his connection to graphic novels? Or is this group just “stuff I like”?

We just had that convo last week. See the sidebar and then read the pinned "MEA CULPA" post if you like. I'm also working on an updated sidebar that defines things in a little bit clearer terms, and I'll run it past the community soon for feedback.

This particular post (and song) is shared because it's Euro artistry, and because I also find the message surprisingly timely. I don't intend to stray from GN's and BD's very often, but I recognise that many things have overlap in the arts & media, and I don't mind occasionally acknowledging that with an example or two.

Meanwhile, do feel free to share the kind of material you like, here.
Cheers!
