It’s a day you remember where you were. I watched from a flat in Camberwell where I stayed that summer. Freddie was on top of his game. Stupendous. Afterwards I headed to the Royal Vauxhall Tavern. Drive by the Cars was on. They had played it at the Philadelphia event. I can touch the day from here.

John Kampfner read the world’s most notorious book so you don’t have to.
This was, unsurprisingly, very good from @johnkampfner.bsky.social
And, as he reflects, soberingly relevant to the world around us now.
Well worth an hour of your time.
