Yeah I think you've hit on a powerful reason there, HP is such a money tree I bet JKR can get people black balled if she turns her ample bile against them..
to the best of my knowledge they never made it to the UK but who knows, stuff could pass you by in those days if you didn't get a flyer stuffed in your mitt at another show..
i do think about all those ICE and National Guard guys getting calls from concerned friends n family and replying "err, well.." and that info filtering back into chats down the corner store and school gates and whatsapp groups and the penny has to drop at some point surely
my father (a retired white engineer who has been in oklahoma for 40 years) is my weathervane for what normal people who just watch the news periodically think, and he was like “so, they want to call the guard out on a bunch of kids wearing frog suits? is that true?”, the admin is losing the PR war
years ago a (then new) girlfriend asked me to bring some 'spooky music' to a halloween dinner party with friends of hers i hadn't met - like a wise-ass i took Carpenter's Halloween OST, by the 4th or 5th time a variation on the main theme came round i was politely asked to remove the record
top notch VCR, me and a pal used the audio dubbing feature to go full beavis & butthead over Live Aid in a manner i will no doubt have to explain to St Peter (still got the cool remote)
i've been enjoying the filter (my findings often aligning with theirs) but was shaken by the slating they gave waitrose italian roast coffee beans a few weeks back
yeah 2016 was the turning point, all the worst fuckers turned up en masse, Musk was the end game of that rot, my account got nuked a couple years ago and yes the opportunity to DL my archive would've been nice but i haven't lost any sleep about it tbh
