So What? (Anti-Nowhere League song)

"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.
