On a similar note, Stewart Copeland, former drummer with the Police, has an interesting story to tell about his father. Don't know if this is only available on Audible.

Saw them both perform the same number in 1993, but the backdrop wasn't as spectacular.

Some war reparations would be nice!

Looking rather youthful.
Neil Young Unplugged, a huge favourite of mine.

He is not alone. I only recently became aware of Clapton's disgraceful '76 outburst. A huge fan, it's now difficult to listen to him. He has collaborated with lots of black music icons since, but (as you say) still. Today, he would face charges. Unbelievable!

Will always associate this moment in history with turning 30, watching the live TV broadcast, as numbed Ceausescu addresses a large crowd of audible dissenters from his balcony. Not long after flames can be seen within the presidential palace.

I read it in a day. Engrossing! It just stresses that, when deterrence fails, you can respond in kind, if you have time, but it's certainly not going to save the planet. You are just getting your own back, ensuring that armageddon is comprehensive.
It could happen tomorrow, or later this afternoon.

Or 'Lee' (Lee Miller, WWII photo-journalist and a lot more). Think it's only on Sky.... and we've just cancelled all that, but have always been fascinated with her story, and she has now been given added prominence with this film.

Blitz on AppleTV, including Paul Weller as Grandad! Although you won't fit it in tonight now.
