In the late 70s the Northwick Park roundabout in the North London suburb of Harrow, was plastered with a slogan which was sprayed with the same slap dashness of an ‘I woz ere’ graffito but was in fact a sublime mashup of Marx quotation and pop culture reference. It stood there for years, a monument to suburbia.
“Nicholas Parsons is the Neo Opiate of the People”
(Nicholas Parson’s being a contemporary Television Game Show host and partial model for Steve Coogan’s Alan Partridge)
I ever become a gazillionaire I would like to buy the Northwick Park roundabout, respray it with the slogan and dedicate the place to the unknown Graffiti hero.
