Well, Chewbacca boy was defending Radiohead, who aren't exactly Oasis when it comes to their down-to-earthness, and the word zeitgeist just sort of slipped out (I think I was lumping Thom Yorke in with Al Gore and Naomi Klein as part of some kind of eco-obsession within popular culture). Maybe I should've just stabbed the bloke when I first saw him and had done with.
Anyway. I didn't even want to be talking about Thom Yorke in the first place, let alone bring in a word like zeitgeist. (I'd actually planned to spend the afternoon watching F1 on TV) But I was, and i did and thinking about it I'm glad that it happened. I'm gonna use it constantly now, whenever a similar situation arises where I'm forced to sit with blokes in their thirties that insist on wearing Star Wars T Shirts and flip flops.
