…rather than the blink of an eye that it is now. So it seemed a big deal when UFO resurfaced in 1985. after splitting in '83. And I was delighted, as I’d only got into them in the interim.

This #hammersmithodeon show was highly enjoyable.

I'm here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files.

With SNAP benefits going to shit because of rich assholes and corruption running rampant through politics I'd like to point your attention to a Clinton.

No, not one of those Clintons. This Clinton. Clifford Clinton.

I wrote about it for a provisional version of the book 1001 TV Series You Must Watch Before You Die. But, alas, my entry (below) was replaced by another that – in my admittedly biased opinion – wasn't as good.

Nonetheless, HB TWD.

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

My first concert was on this day in 1983.

Still one of the most exciting evenings of my life.

Thanks, Mum and Dad. And Kiss!

There are lots of different versions, but Snoop has chosen the #unknownpleasures one because it matches his colouring and not because he's a bit emo, because he isn't.
