Why does everything in the popular culture section have a citation-needed flag? Is the TV series and episode title not a sufficient citation? 167.21.3.7 (talk) 03:09, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

"82" location
John Wetton said that the lyric "now you find yourself in 82" wasn't referring to the year 1982, but a location. By my reasoning, "82" may be referring to a coordinate on a map of one of these locations:
 * 82 degrees West runs from a location in the northern bay of an island in the far northern islands of Nunavut, Canada to Antarctica
 * 82 degrees East runs from an ice cap in the Arctic Circle to Antartica
 * 82 degrees North and South are both the boundary markers for the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, respectively.
 * 82 degrees North, 82 degrees East puts you on an ice cap in the Arctic Circle
 * 82 degrees North, 82 degrees West puts you on a location about 146 miles NNE of Eureka, Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada.
 * 82 degrees South, 82 degrees West puts you about 57 miles east of Mt. Oldenburg in Antarctica in the Antarctic Circle.
 * 82 degrees South, 82 degrees East puts you about 121 miles SSE of the Gamburtsev Glacial Mtns. in the Antarctic Circle.

Wetton may have been trying to say figuratively that the person in question is now out in the cold, since all of the locations listed above are in freezing cold, remote, and desolate places within the Arctic & Antarctic Circles.

Incorrect writing credit?
This entry lists Alex Harrison in two places as a co-writer of the song with John Wetton and Geoff Downes Is it incorrect? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benonemusic (talk • contribs) 09:25, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Bill Simmons Podcast
Perhaps my initial phrasing was a bit lacking, so I re-wrote it to give proper importance to the event. While "reference/refer" was technically correct, it wasn't simply a passing reference. The song was part of a multi-minute argument against cancel culture and this prominent podcaster, author, and public personality's vision for how sports broadcasting could or should function. The event was also widely covered in the online sports media world. See
