It was a response to Paul Morley's article on the death of the Protest song... they sort of miss quoted me though:
much better would have been:
I was unable to keep myself from grunting and cheering with a mixture of empathy and indignation. I have a 'politically satirical' (my spin on the term 'protest singer') alter-ego called Olly the Octopus. I don't think protest dead its just been rebranded with a less worthy moniker...
