Trying to move over from the dark side. Tolerant. Up to a point. Let's have everyone doing OK. If you think "woke" is an insult or if you think Brexit was a great idea, best not to follow me. Oh, and if I follow you on Twitter, I'm looking for you on here.
One of my favourite songs is a beautiful piece by #bettieserveert called Spine (a B-side on the What Friends? single). I've played it hundreds of times but never once have I managed to work out the very first line of the lyrics - can anyone help? Thanks. x

OK guys - if you are doing YouTube 'reaction' videos on the first time you're hearing a song - it's probably advisable not to sing along with the words to the first verse. Just saying!

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.
I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.
It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Controversial opinion for the day #3
James Dewar is the most underrated rock vocalist of his generation. Extraordinary voice. Not too shabby on the bass either.
see: Bridge of Sighs and esp Long Misty Days.

Controversial opinion of the day #2: CDs would have had more consumer longevity if they'd been sold in good quality carboard (mini vinyl style) sleeves than increasingly unpopular, space-inefficient, ugly, plastic 'jewel' cases.

I understand the sentiment behind dry January, but if you don't want to commit to this, I've an alternative.
Pub January, where you stop in at your local hostelry, have a drink and support a sector that is in danger of shrinking into obscurity, and with it a large of part of our heritage.

If you're a music fan and especially if you use streaming platforms (I don't) then you should/must read this. How accurate it is I don't know, but if only a small part of this is true then it is horribly shocking.

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image.
All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.
