Love Music, Hate Racism.
Fuck the BNP.
Militant atmosphere in Victoria Park for the Rock Against Racism concert. Inspiring to hear passionate and committed people stand up and be counted. And good tunes too from mix of newbies and oldies. Standouts for me were Jimmy Pursey (Sham 69) covering The Clash's White Riot' and 'Dancing in the dark' performed by the all-stars who stepped in to replace Baby Shambles. It could have gone horribly wrong but it was so bad it was good. Long live the guilty pleasures in life.
Evening wrapped up by The Good, The Bad and The Queen. Never paid tehm too much attention before but realised that yet again Damon Albarn is a VERY clever man. Stunning ensemble rendition of 'Ghost town' closed the event.
