Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead.

Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.

Money's Too Tight to Mention' was about as big an anti-Thatcherite message as you can get in pop music. There was a vast swath of the British media at that time that were rabid Thatcherites; do you think they are going to take kindly to me? Then I got hit by the left, because we were too popular.
