Last week saw the 20th anniversary of the date that “
Different Class “ by Pulp was released.
Their big breakthrough album of the Britpop era , with songs
that told stories that echoed how some of us were feeling .
My copy with its creases, broken case and still intact
interchangeable front cover cards depicting cardboard cut-outs of the band
placed in various locations looks every one of its 20 years but it’s still
going strong after all this time and hidden away in the album sleeves is a caption
that means just as much to me today as it did back then to all those mis-shapes
who didn’t feel like they belonged in the places they lived in .
“Please understand.
We don’t want no trouble. We just want the right to be different that’s all “
A lesson there that many could learn from on judging people
just because they’ve chosen not to be a sheep and stray from looking like what
other people believe to be the norm.
