"I got a tv set or two
But we'll have to get a man in 'cause one of them blew up"

The idea of kiwi petrol station worker contemplating getting a TV repaired speaks volumes about what's changed in Aotearoa over the last 40-50 years.

@strypey That's got to be one of the bleakest, darkest NZ songs I know.

Although, yes, it's also worth reflecting on how getting a man in to fix a TV is not something we tend to do today (but should).

Incidentally, this is an example of why the arts matter, and why it's worth funding the humanities so that insights like these can be identified and discussed.
