Living in fear of a red city
Waking up to an eerie orange glow (and as it happens a reverberating siren coming for somewhere nearby) in Sydney this morning, Dr Mumbo was most impressed with the topicality of the ABC local radio playlist. The first song he heard on the Adam Spencer show was the appropriately apocalyptic It’s The End Of The World As We Know It. By the time it became clear that the extraordinary phenomenon was caused by nothing more dramatic than a duststorm, it was all somewhat anticlimactic.
