:D When it comes to colourful language, I like to think 'less is more'... not sure what she has against Norman Rockwell, all I know about him is his Santa Claus picture appearing on my Corn Flakes box each Christmas.

I agree, I don't know what she has against Norman Rockwell, save perhaps for his rather twee and sentimental depiction of life in the US in the 20th century. Or maybe she doesn't like Kellogg's cornflakes. :hmm:
Clearly not everyone agrees with her view of Norman. This one ("Tired salesgirl on Christmas Eve") went to auction at Sotheby's last year with a guide price of 5-7 million USD.

No idea what it sold for, I'd have to register with them, and I don't want to be on their mailing list.
James Lavelle and DJ Shadow, with help from Alice Temple, Richard Ashcroft, Badly Drawn Boy, Thom Yorke, Ian Brown, Mark Hollis and a few others I've never heard of.

According to this https://www.thesufferingartist.com/p...-christmas-eve it only made a paltry $4.3M. Looks like we missed a bargain. If only we had been registered.

Wouldn't have made any difference to me, the winning bidder had gone past my maximum. I only had £6.50 and a couple of pre-decimal coins in my socks drawer. How much would you have gone to?Quote:

Think this is growing on me a bit. Production is good, it's one to show off yer stereo with.
Good album, played it the other dayQuote:

That's enough Wagon Christ for this decade. Let's get back to something proper, with proper instruments played properly.

It wouldn't have worked as it ceased to be legal tender about fifty-five years ago. :eyebrows:Quote:

Not sure he ever had a 'grunge' period. Most of the albums with Crazy Horse are quite heavy rock, but the only album he did in the grunge era was 'Ragged Glory' which is outstanding IMO.Quote:

This one really does my noggin in. My music history says I shouldn't like it, I couldn't define why I like it and yet I like it, a lot.
Isn't that from the '70s?Quote:
