In early March 2020 Sydney artist Cass Hopetoun released her debut single ‘Shots’, a song with a chorus that talks about no one doing shots any more. Less than a week later, no one in the world was doing much of anything as we all locked down.

Hopetoun and I spoke recently, and you can watch the interview on YouTube or listen in Soundcloud.
