I've been reading that the bill has been suspended with many more politicians realising how unpopular this thing is. It makes you wonder, how many bills get passed where they don't understand/care about the effect and which don't get the publicity that this one did, doesn't it?
I used to wonder about the figures in the song as well. Obviously he talks about a lot that happened before my time, but I was always into the 60s and 70s music scene and social and political movements, so I got some of it.
