Brilliant! I always love your Dan. And this captures his frustration so perfectly. And your description of Jones, how he'd never sold out, and didn't care what other people thought of him, is just perfect.
The establishment took the revolution of yesterday and shamelessly turned it into their own McPayout™, choking money out of fuckwits who wouldn't see the hypocrisy in buying a band hoodie with an anarchy symbol on the back from Disenfranchised Inc.
And that is why I love you. (... just one of the many reasons. <3)

Oh, thanks honey, it really means a lot. And thank you for holding my hand so much for the first bit of it when I was all insecure and "is this ok??"
Love you too <3

This was brilliant, I have to agree you got Dan just right.
Instead he'd turned from an angry young man into a cranky old bastard and he had nothing to show for it, despite the intellectual superiority he felt towards.... well, everyone really. The world was full of phonies and feeble minded fakes and the people who were your comrades in arms when you were in your twenties were converting garages now that they were in their thirties. Fuck, forties now almost.
Everyone sold out. His friends had one by one stopped raging against the man and traded ideals for a three piece cage and a salary. For the first time in his life he knew the crushing disappointment of knowing that someone you once respected owned a plastic pot plant.
quote back your entire fic, why dont i? But I really loved that bit. He's such a grump, I love it.
