...Horses to Radio Ethiopia to Easter and even to Wave. If not present in pure noise, it is present in her whimpering and babelogue. Listen carefully. Behind the music of Patti Smith--behind her mesmerizing God-licks and Christ soliloquys--the seemingly mindless energy of punk is made indelibly clear and mindful...

Labour might have staked out a clear alternative to this on the Left with proposals for industrial democracy, more public ownership, and social service and welfare reform--all elements that have traditionally given the Labour Party its fervor and crusading appeal.
