I’ve seen workshop shows through the years at that high school that rival most stuff in downtown New York.'"

Amanda Palmer and the Huffington Post: Amanda re-introduces the UK to satire
Amanda's European troubles with the Oasis single and her blog post on the same were picked up this week by The Huffington Post.
Amanda writes,
Now people in the UK are telling me that the song 'makes light of rape, religion and abortion.' Can I simply state: When you cannot joke about the darkness of life, that's when the darkness takes over.
I could try to win points by talking about how I've been date raped (I have been, when I was 20) or how I have every right to joke about this if I want to because I've had an abortion myself (I have, when I was 17, complete with fundamentalist Christian protesters shouting at me), but I actually don't believe those experiences should lend me any credibility, any more so than I believe the director of Life is Beautiful had to have been at Auschwitz in order to direct that film.
Funny how this wasn't an issue here in the States... Our MTV long ago decided it would court less controversy if they just stopped playing music videos altogether.
