Speaker: Blinded by the white, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
I think this is the link you want:
Ha ha – it is!
It's not actually a Hendrix doco, but part three of Music Moguls, on music PR, and it's an amazing if alarming, watch.

Note that Lizzie Marvelly said yesterday she has Te Arawa heritage and today writes in her Herald column about Waitangi Day in that context.

Wow – part three of Music Moguls, on music PR, is way the best of the three.
Great, if alarming insights into the way music PR influenced tabloid newspapers and the role of political spin in Tony Blair's embrace of Oasis and Creation Records. The actual story of Noel's famous Blair endorsement at the Brits – the whole band were out of their minds on MDMA – is amazing.

Thanks for this, Hilary. It says really useful things we're not reading in the news media.

Hard News: Fix up, young men, in reply to Danielle,
I think shutting down a thread when women start to get openly angry is on the less helpful end of the range of actions you could take right now, given the context.
I’m sorry, but I have a life too. I'm not public property.

Okay, this is now basically indistinguishable from your common-or-garden Twitter shitfight and I don't seem how it can be rescued. Sorry to everyone who wanted to comment further or who had already been deterred.
Anyone unhappy with how things have proceeded is genuinely welcome to establish their own community, with my best wishes.
Peace out.

Hard News: Fix up, young men, in reply to Della,
and the fact that you’re still having a go at her after all this time says a lot.
Ummm ...

Hard News: Fix up, young men, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
Yes. I think this has actually largely been a really good discussion, one which has made me think a lot, but it can't possibly respond to something that's largely taking place elsewhere.
Public Address isn't a public utility and to have to spend my unpaid Friday night dealing with something that looks like the kind of shitfight that is making people leave Twitter isn't very appealing.
But I do dislike closing down threads, especially if others have something to say.
Thoughts, folks?
-
Stop. Please. Everyone.

Hard News: Fix up, young men, in reply to Danielle,
Thanks Danielle. I am thinking abut this. I don't think banning Sacha on the basis of the above would be appropriate or helpful though.
