Judy Garland
A square prehistory of popular music
Rock versus pop, and orchestral numbers versus guitar solos
The shame of the Oxford Union
A debate on Israel and Palestine was a disgrace
Look on our works, ye voters, and despair
Nothing beside remains except the colossal wreck of the Tory Party
A festival of losing
Will the Republic of Ireland ever face up to its problems?
A shot of Christmas spirit
The Old Vic’s “A Christmas Carol” is properly affecting
The shell shock of the arts
How will the art world respond to its narrative shock?
The stress myth
Your emotions are not an illness
Progressive realism
Can Labour’s new foreign policy doctrine work in our troubled world?
The end of art critics
The critics who are now lackeys of the art world
An open letter on academic free speech
Calls for more intellectual openness are not a defence of Islamists and Holocaust deniers. A response to Mark Ferguson MP
When the music stopped
A reflection on the inexorable decline of arts education and the rise of knee-jerk politics and managerialism
She wants to be in America
🎶 Airtime for me in America 🎶
