Too busy living to blog or watch TV, plus a teeny bit about Solfest 2010

Hello Good People who evidently still read this blog… I keep trying to give up this blog for good but it’s up there in cyberspace without me, just like the millions of  photographs of teenagers on Facebook,  who may at some time, rue the day they allowed photos of, and  information about themselves, to be [...]

Steve Hillage and Gong at The Forum (27th November 2009)-A Review

Hello Good People who read this blog I am recovering from my evening out at the Forum last night in Kentish Town ( in London for anyone who might be reading this in Estonia) to see Steve Hillage and Gong. Our little troupe of Hillage/Gong fans started our  journey to the gig after lots of [...]

Steve Hillage and Gong, better late than never…

Hello Good People who surprise me by still reading this blog during my long absences. This post was originally half written over four weeks ago and was never finished, I was interrupted by the ‘flu,the Cultural Revolution and Revolutionary Operas and then had to recover from the exhaustion of all three! Anyway, I am now [...]

Is Everything OK?

Hello Good People who read this blog just a little entry today.

Our shallow superficial culture and talented people

Hello Good people who read this blog… Some anti-tv vitriol…. I am changing the tone today just for a brief comment on our culture. I have been watching a bit of TV this week and heard about some exceptionally talented singer on some reality TV programme. I thought I would check out what all the [...]

It’s the same old story…stormtroopers in the street (and I don’t mean the Star Wars variety)

Hello Good People who read this blog… (I have just realised that I’ve been taken off the Google search engine..a bit weird…anyone know why?) I thought I’d post a quickie about the police assault on Ian Tomlinson, who died as a result. Even though now I know for sure that my emails are copied and [...]

“Political Intelligence” versus sitting around to watch the world end.

Hello Good People who read this blog I make no apologies for this entry being political.  This is THE most important time to think about politics. I went on the Put People First G20 March on Saturday. I had such a great time. I joined the Oxfam group rather than march alone. I have done [...]
