An excellent little book, the revolution of everyday life.
as a mild piece of punk trivia a band called Thatcher On Acid (TOA) used
that very quote, and others, as lyrics in their sonfs. They also used
hamlet's dagger speech etc as well and various other bits and bobs, but the
Vaneigem quote is well known incertain punk circle, although usually
misattributed to TOA, not that Vaneigeim would mind I expect.
still, i'll stop wasting your bandwidth now... ;-)
