Possibly 'cos those who experienced its true horror have died?
Thinking of my dad who was an army doctor at the end of WW2 & saw the liberation of the camps. He never talked about it except once, not long before he died, when a bit drunk... he just cried. :(
He saw EU as peace in Europe: never again

I'm sure you've already seen it, but for your followers, I strongly recommend the documentary 'It's Quieter In The Twilight' for an education in just how much has gone into keeping the Voyager project going over the years. www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/review/its-q...

Hmmm... A touch unfair. Saw them and Feelgoods (w/ Wilko Johnson and after) a dew times, back in the day. Wilko & DrF clearly influenced many... and goes back to Mick Green (Pirates). Liked them all....

I think Wilko Johnson (of Dr Feelgod) and Mick Green (Pirates), earlier, influenced a lot of them.

Check out Wilko Johnson + early Dr Feelgood. Seems a clear influence. Saw Go4, DrF at various gigs, back in the day.
Wilko was in turn influenced by Mick Green (MG & The Pirates). His lead+rhythm style was amazing. Saw his in-memoriam gig at 100 Club w/ The Pirates, Wilko, Feelgoods & more.

Iain Banks was ahead of his time on this as so much else.... Hoping for The Culture rather than our current dystopian nonsense.
