Here's Gram Parsons with The Flying Burrito Brothers at Altamont in 69, with Mick and Keith watching from the wings. Stills from recently unearthed footage that you can watch here (the sound is from a different song in their set that day) youtu.be/bPVPhLPkC9E

I know many of you will already have done something to help the people of Jamaica, but if you felt like helping a specific family, this is the GoFundMe set up by my son’s girlfriend for her relatives, who find themselves in dire straits. Every bit helps, shares appreciated. gofund.me/9b5b74984

Mark’s passion and precision is spot on. And so very vital. The WAC is a *stunning* resource. It must be allowed — empowered — to thrive. SHARE.

DEFENDING THE WAC: MARK LEWISOHN LOOKS AT WHY RENEWED APPRECIATION IS URGENTLY REQUIRED

Nipping down Pelican Stairs when the Thames is at low tide gives you a great chance to see the gibbet at Executioner’s Dock up close, if that’s your idea of a good time.

Kind of haunted by these memorials in All Hallows-on-the-Wall church in the City of London. Poor Yvon, poor Joan, and her poor children.

Really enjoyed reading this! My favourite from this list? A toss-up between Harold Monro’s “Overheard on a Saltmarsh” and “Wy is School a Fing” by Sonny, aged 8.
I wrote about the bedtime poems my children have most enjoyed over the years, from a Cumbrian shepherd counting rhyme to Gertrude Stein someflowerssoon.substack.com/p/crap-poims

Good day on the new book today, writing about Berthold Lubetkin’s Cranbrook Estate in Bethnal Green, Marxism and Tikkun olam (Hebrew for repair of the world)… it all ties together, I think!

The fact of the matter is that an attack on a synagogue in Manchester on Yom Kippur is antisemitic, not antizionist. Give your Jewish friends and neighbours support and don't let the actions of one antisemite stoke even more division

On Yom Kippur many Jewish people in Britain have their phones off to mark the holy day.
As it ends at 723pm, some will hear the tragic Manchester news for the first time.
At that time, please join many of us to send a message of solidarity to British Jews.Thanks Together coalition for proposing.

tbt the time a drunk was trying to insult one of the bouncers on the high street and got the devastating response "oh look, someone who doesn't matter has said something that isn't true". I often think about this when not replying to tweets

RIP Stanley Meadows, who has died aged 94. May his memory be for a blessing. A fine character actor whom I’ll always remember for his understated menace as Rosebloom in PERFORMANCE (Donald Cammell/Nicolas Roeg, 1970).

My mum’s yahrzeit, three years since she died. Feels at least twice as long, the world that had her in it feels remote now, but sometimes it’s as if she was here yesterday. So disorientating how grief warps time.

Nigel Farage and Reform couldn’t have asked for better publicity than this pathetic piece of BBC ‘journalism’, written with almost childlike enthusiasm by Chris Mason. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Chris Mason: Reform conference shows party's growing ambition like never before - BBC News
The conference feels like that of a big party - but retains the insurgency vibe that the party is seeking to channel.
