I teach sociology at the University of Glasgow and my interests are learning, teaching, books, ideas, culture and music.
LKJ’s writing is so often steadying. That’s so interesting Ian.

It was so lovely to meet, Yang, last week. I will read this with great interest very much in the key of our talk last week.

Update on this. A friend who does anti fascist work found this posted on social media. The SS flag is clearly visible and they also seem to claim affiliation with @raithroversfc.bsky.social

Yes, so true, Jason. Stax was right in the heart of Black South Memphis and not far from where Martin Luther King was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel. Steve Cropper used to rent rooms there to write songs with Eddie Floyd and Otis Redding. Amazing

Sorry about that, Jillian, I hope you got to Jimmy Reid quickly… I think he’s fantastic - he even makes stupid questions interesting. They are both a bit sheepish next to Lauren Bacall!
