Went to a They Might be Giants show on Sunday night with some younger friends and colleagues and even the band played the "racist friend" song they all thought it was a recent one.

Sadly I had to inform them that no, covering or ignoring a friend for being problematic is an issue for the ages.

"If you have a racist friend
Now is the time, now is the time for your friendship to end

Be it your sister
Be it your brother
Be it your cousin or your, uncle or your lover

If you have a racist friend
Now is the time, now is the time for your friendship to end

Be it your best friend
Or any other
Is it your husband or your father or your mother?

Tell them to change their views
Or change their friends
