Default Déjà vu

If you're old enough you realise everything will come around again.

Fact: in the 1970's Henry Cooper was advising men to "splash it all over" as he promoted Brut deodorant

Fast forward to 2020, Vinnie Jones is telling us "to stop messing about" and use Brut.
_______

Fact: in the 1980s there were endless wars and famine in the Horn of Africa (Ethiopia, Somalia). Band Aid concert, "Do they know its Christmas" song all for famine relief.

Fast forward to 2020 - they're fighting in Ethiopia again, people are being displaced and the threat of famine looms.

________

Fact: in 1980s Spitting Image was on tv

Fast forward to 2020: Spitting Image is on tv.

Not sure if Brut or Famines are as good as previous...

Deja Vu?

Yes yes but will Crosby Stills Nash and Young re-release the album?

Yes ... total legend in my book, apart from his on track achievements he did more for motorcycling in general than anyone previously or since.
