In Popular Culture
Palmers Green is mentioned in Jona Lewie's 1980 song You'll Always Find Me in the Kitchen at Parties. The song's lyrics were penned by Lewie's friend and fellow Brett Marvin and the Thunderbolts member, Keef Trouble. The Palmers Green reference was prompted by the fact that Trouble had just split up with his girlfriend and was at a party thrown by his friend, Charles "Charlie Farley" Hallinan, near The Fox public house in Palmers Green. Jona Lewie slightly amended the words but still mentioned the "do in Palmers Green".

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races.... The economics of this musical esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
“... we’ve allowed a youth-centered culture to leave us so estranged from our future selves that, when asked about the years beyond fifty, sixty, or seventy—all part of the average human life span providing we can escape hunger, violence, and other epidemics—many people can see only a blank screen, or one on which they project fear of disease and democracy.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
