‘I am what I am – a family man. Mother, father, brother.’ Fleetwood Mac, 1987.
Are we allowed to say that anymore? What would happen if I included that song in a music set when performing in a public venue? Would I risk being dragged before some commissioner somewhere? Might I be charged expenses for needing to be protected if I named my whole set after this song, and advertised it as such?
Such questions would seem absurd in 1987, but not today in Australia.
