    "So What?" is a song written by the British punk band the Anti-Nowhere League. The song first appeared as the B-side of the band's debut 7" single "Streets of London", in 1981.

    History and controversy

    The song was written, according to the band, after sitting in a pub one night and hearing two men try to out do each other with stories of past experiences. The song is therefore a retort to people who tell embellished stories to make themselves appear better than the other person they are in conversation with.

    The obscene lyrical content of the song caused the British police to seize all copies of the single from the band's distributors under the Obscene Publications Act and remove all copies from sale . The word "fuck" appeared in the first line of the song. The song has subsequently been appended to various CD reissues of the We Are... The League album and has become somewhat of an anthem for the band. Lyrics in the song include references to bestiality (I fucked a sheep/I fucked a goat...) and acquiring sexually transmitted diseases (I've had the crabs, I've had the lice/I've had the clap...).

    So What! (magazine)

    So What! is the magazine of The Metallica Club (usually known as Metclub), the official Metallica fan club. The magazine was started in 1981. It comes out four times a year just for club members and has 48 pages with Metallica news, photos and inside information. The title of the magazine came from their cover of Anti-Nowhere League's song "So What".

    The band, along with So What! editor Steffan Chirazi released the 273 page book So What!: The Good, The Mad and The Ugly in 2004. This piece was a proverbial "best of" and contained some of the most noteworthy articles, pictorials, and interviews that the magazine has featured in more than a decade. The book also gave the general public its first non-membership look at the Metallica club and the quarterly release of its fan club magazine.

  • Who (pronoun)

    The pronoun who, in English, is an interrogative pronoun and a relative pronoun, used chiefly to refer to humans.

    Its derived forms include whom, an objective form the use of which is now generally confined to formal English; the possessive form whose; and the emphatic form whoever (also whosoever and whom(so)ever; see also -ever).

    Etymology

    The word who derives from the Old English hwā. The spelling who does not correspond to the word's pronunciation /huː/; it is the spelling that represents the expected outcome of hwā, while the pronunciation represents a divergent outcome – for details see Pronunciation of English ⟨wh⟩. The word is cognate with Latin quis and Greek ποιός.

    The forms whom and whose derive respectively from the Old English dative and genitive forms of hwā, namely hwām and hwæs.

    Uses

    As interrogative pronoun

    Who and its derived forms can be used as interrogative pronouns, to form questions:

  • Who did that?
  • Whom [less formal: Who] did you meet this morning?
  • To whom did you speak? (informal: Who did you speak to?)
  • WHOM

    WHOM (94.9 FM, "94.9 WHOM") is an American radio station which airs an adult contemporary format. It transmits from atop Mount Washington in New Hampshire, the tallest peak in the Northeast. WHOM's signal can be heard in five states and part of Canada (New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York and Quebec). While the station can be heard all over Northern New England, WHOM broadcasts from and considers itself part of the Portland, Maine radio market. WHOM claims on its website that it has the largest coverage area of any FM station in the USA. The station also streams its programming over the internet from its official web page. It is owned by Townsquare Media.

    WHOM promotes its programming as "safe for the whole family." In addition to local DJs, the station also airs the syndicated John Tesh radio show.

    History

    WHOM traces its history to the 1940s as a weather station, sending temperature and climate readings from atop Mount Washington to meteorologists in Boston. As an FM station for the general public, WHOM signed on the air July 9, 1958 as WMTW-FM, owned by Mount Washington Television (an ownership group that included former Maine governor Horace Hildreth) along with WMTW-TV (channel 8). The WMTW stations were sold to Jack Paar of Tonight Show fame in 1963; Paar, in turn, sold them to Mid New York Broadcasting in 1967.

    So What

    by: Ani Difranco

    who's gonna give a shit
    who's gonna take the call
    when you find out that the road ahead
    is painted on a wall
    and you're turned up to top volume
    and you're just sitting there in pause
    with your feral little secret
    scratching at you with its claws
    and you're trying hard to figure out
    just exactly how you feel
    before you end up parked and sobbing
    forehead on the steering wheel
    who are you now
    and who were you then
    that you thought somehow
    you could just pretend
    that you could figure it all out
    the mathematics of regret
    so it takes two beers to remember now
    and five to forget
    that i loved you so
    yeah, i loved you, so what
    how many times undone
    can one person be
    as they're careening through the facade
    of their favorite fantasy
    you just close your eyes slowly
    like you're waiting for a kiss
    and hope some lowly little power
    will pull you out of this
    but none comes at first
    and little comes at all
    and when inspiration finally hits you
    it barely even breaks your fall
    who were you then
    and who are you
    now that you can't pretend
    that you can figure it all out
    subtract out the impact
    and the fall is all you get
    so it takes two beers to remember now
    and three more to forget
    that i loved you so
    yeah, i loved you, so what
    i loved you
