I mean, I know we live in linear time and that 1981 was forty-four years ago, so on an objective level "Adam Ant is 71 today" must be a factual statement about reality.
But also, that's clearly bollocks. Adam Ant can't be 71.

Adam Ant is 71 today. Hard to emphasise how seismic this was in playgrounds across the country in 1980. For a period he was as big as any act has been. Was he the perfect pop star? I think so. It couldn't last but if you were there you'll never forget it.

The big betrayal of the environment
Unless Labor finds a way to improve environmental protections it might find that no amount of political spin can protect a government that has lost its way on environmental issues.
