The mid-1970s were a wonderful time for music lovers. For starters,
exciting and innovative new music was popping up all over the place.
And when it did, it actually got played on the radio.
The UK was especially fertile ground during this period, as scores
of punk and New Wave acts emerged in
the most dynamic explosion of music since the British Invasion. One of
the most outstanding of these was Graham Parker, who in 1976 released not one, but two instant five-star classics. Parker recently consented to become our first interview subject. We hope you enjoy reading his answers as much as I enjoyed asking the questions...

Bluto Blutarsky, I really like the original article, great interview, but it surely belongs under 'Entertainment', and not 'Politics' (as the primary focus is on music, not politics). Also, could you provide a bit of background to it instead of focusing on one question of many he was asked. Furthermore, why might the NowPublic audience be interested in this particular piece? If you make these changes I will be more than happy to remove this flag. Thanks!

Bluto Blutarsky, thanks for improving your story -- I can see you've put more effort into it. I've removed the flag and now more readers can see it. Thanks for your contribution.

Got classified as Political by mistake, fixed. Your point on writing a better description is valid, and I'll redo it. Thanks for your feedback.
