On National Poetry Day, here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.

The Power of Poetry

with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,

it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,

so he reached for his copy
of The Complete Works of Yeats

and bludgeoned the President
of the United States

50 years ago tonight (!) I saw the early Sex Pistols. Exactly a week after the London 100 Club Punk Festival they came up to Doncaster for what was only my third ever gig. This was before they had released any music - we were there purely based on a few intriguing articles in the weekly music press.
