A nation cloned by someone else's poetry

Thursday music corner: Englishman Francis Dunnery founded the rock band It Bites in 1982, which released three albums and had a UK top 10 single in 1986 with Calling All The Heroes, before disbanding in 1990. After several years of fast living in Los Angeles Dunnery returned to the UK to work in former Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant’s band, including participating in Plant’s Fate of Nations world tour. In 1994 Dunnery released Fearless, his second solo album, with American Life in the Summertime as its opening track, its lyrics referencing the hollow decadence of the Los Angeles music business. Dunnery is still active in the music scene and has released 14 albums to date.
