Give Yourself a Break From Worrying About Coronavirus! Enjoy Warrior In Woolworth's By Poly Styrene and X-Ray Spex!

"Everybody knows that the plague is coming, and Everybody knows that it's moving fast"
-Leonard Cohen, "Everybody Knows."


Afraid the viruses are gonna getcha? Well pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and check out this performance of "Warrior In Woolworths" by X-Ray Spex featuring Poly Styrene, Live in London, the year, 2008.


A classic "underground" hit by the band X-Ray Spex. The lead singer, Poly Styrene, a free-spirited songbird, existed all too briefly.


The crowd of happy mushrooms bounces as they're swept along by the music, an example of life enjoying itself.


I like the unusual camera angle here. It displays the dynamism of the drummer by putting him in the foreground. We hover above and behind his shoulder, watching the scene as if from an aerie.
Look, we're all mortal beings and we're all gonna die someday, sometime, of something. So don't sweat it.
