I never use this platform, soz.

📖 Rainbows In The Rough available from @brokenspinearts.bsky.social

Yes, that's me with Brian Wilson. Rip 💔
He's also a thin skinned little bitch in real life.

Not only...this...but he blocked me for posting it on twitter a few years ago, which means he also searches his name to block anyone critical. Shandling had his number.

Got into Sananda Maitreya (FKA: Terence Trent D'Arby) right around the time he popped out for a 23 year cigarette, & I FINALLY got to see him 😍

Voice PRISTINE, charisma intact, he also cracked a joke which got the biggest laugh I've ever heard at a gig

We both had big grins on our faces all night

I went to see Graham Nash last night, and it was genuinely wonderful, but he had the oddest piece of merch I've ever seen:

A picture of Joni Mitchell, signed by Graham Nash.

It gave me "Video of West Country comedian Jethro, signed by Bono" vibes #AccidentalPartridge

We love Transvision Vamp. And she's still a bad ass 😎

Phil Collins is doing that thing where he's balding but has kept growing his hair as if nobody would notice.

Nice try Phil, but you've got to get up very early in the morning to catch me out...

Neil Young signing up for Glastonbury, then pulling out in a huff before he was even announced, then deciding to play after all, but not letting the BBC film it, then changing his mind with mere hours to go is the most Neil Young sequence of events ever and I love it 😂

Waffling on about my book whether people like it or not in Southport with @brokenspinearts.bsky.social

@alanparry83.bsky.social looks engrossed

Hoping for a Liverpool event, where you'll have no excuse but to come under duress.

The two most popular things on the internet:

🥵 Thirst traps
😺 Cats

Since I'm one of those people who looks better the more clothes I have on, here's some cats reading my book for shamless promo. 📖

Thirst traps may follow if I get desperate (they won't)

Event for both Rainbows In The Rough & out.skirts will take place next week in Southport (right by the train station if Google Maps is to be believed). In association with Sefton Pride & pay-what-you-can🤷‍♀️

Understand it's a midweek trek to Sowie, but would love to see some peeps

I don't use this platform much - the idea of MORE social media makes me hit a wall

BUT...I've just had my first book published via @brokenspinearts.bsky.social, and I'm quite proud of it.

So, if you're up for it, you can get it here: shorturl.at/KaBKD

Venn diagram showing the overlap between the people who whinge about freedom of speech and "cancel culture", and the people who are trying to "cancel" Bruce Springsteen and telling him to shut up.
