Still screaming

Pearl Jam's 12th album proves the senior statesmen have what it takes after 33 years.
In rock culture where bands through business frustrations, "musical differences", fragile egos or competing personalities - implode or explode with predictable frequency, some remain resistant to the chaos.
You have to admire the tenacity of U2, Radiohead, Blur, The Bats and others for enduring against the odds.
And Pearl Jam who - 33 years after their debut album Ten and with a remarkably stable line-up-survived the lamentable attrition of overdoses and suicides which afflicted Seattle's grunge scene: Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone, Layne Staley (Alice in Chains), Kurt Cobain (Nirvana), Chris Cornell (Soundgarden), Scott Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots), Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age).
Pearl Jam - average age 59 - may be senior statesmen but reach their 12th studio album Dark Matter sounding impressively muscular and match-fit.

Going nowhere fast
It's green, but boy, is it mean: the escalating civil war over footpaths. Bikes, e-scooters and even stately paced mobility scooters are causing injury and aggro, facilitating crime at increasing rates worldwide, with various countries introducing controls.

Ignorant no more
Ignorance of the law is no excuse - so went the maxim that meant you couldn't plead ignorance of the law as a defence. Citizens were presumed to know the law.

Last mouth talking
Three entitled men had an outsized influence over Australia across the 1980s and 90s. Two, Alan Jones and John Laws, were Sydney radio hosts to whom many politicians prostrated themselves. The third, Graham Richardson, was a member of the Australian Senate and behind-the-scenes fix-it man for Bob Hawke's Labor government. Their lives intertwined at the nexus of power, politics and privilege on the air waves, at high-end restaurants when they wished to be seen and, when not, deep within political and business backrooms. All claimed to be on the side of the less powerful, the meek and the marginalised.
