Satire/Talk

"Satire Boom"? Never heard this one before (Capitalized as if it's a proper noun). Did you just make this up?

The Satire Boom is a name given in Britain for a time (late fifties/early sixties) say from "Beyond the Fringe" to "That Was The Week That Was", when the weakening of UK class structure (Peter Cook could impersonate Harold Macmillan on TV, you could say ever-so-slightly impertinent things about the Royal family) made it look like satire was the new rock and roll. As it turned out, rock and roll was the new rock and roll. -- GWO

Righto :-) Thanks
