…in Nz we had a State run insurance company called “Government Life”…
…it was also the name of an anarcho-punk band in Dunedin in the late Eighties, all patched clothing, army boots and colourful hair-dos…
…the insurance company got privatised and changed its name to “State”…
…can’t be certain if it was because the public had started to associate them with the band or not.
Bored with a record shop.
