Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Sonja Kristina was rather nice.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

She was indeed, I remember seeing her in when she was in Hair, which of course had the (in)famous nude sceneOriginally Posted by walpurgis
so tame by today's standards.
Tonight was a secret gig I was invited to by the management company. All the original members joined them on stage including Daryl Way and Ian Eyre. Half way through the gig, they annouced that it was the 45th aniversary of the release of Air Conditioning, the first album and the then played the whole thing. They changed the order of the songs, as they said that after 20 minutes, they didn't want the audience arguing about who should turn over the recordJust a great night, Viv and I had a great time, I'll put a full review on the Daily Express website, over the weekend.

The Brook Street Band at St John's, Smith Square yesterday.
They were playing a selection of 17th/18th Century French music and some Handel trying to suggest French influences on Handel's music. There was even a pre concert talk on the topic...
Sadly, all-in-all it was a disappointing performance - but that's live music for you they can't always be perfect.

Not long in from Stacey Kent at Ronnie Scott's - she so obviously loves what she does. A great evening.
She sat out on one number - Alfie - which husband, musical director and saxophonist Jim Tomlinson dedicated to Cilla Black. Very moving.
The support act was loud and played 'free' jazz which might be a bit much for Ms Kent's audience. I enjoyed them though.

King Crimson in Aylesbury Waterside Theatre. Sound a bit rubbish at the beginning. But it gradually improved. Played a set of mostly things up to and including 'Red'. Had a great time with my older brother who introduced me to that stuff many years ago. Robert Fripp is a bit of a curmudgeon however! Next up in October is The Unthanks and Sleaford Mods.

Went up to Newcastle yesterday and went to see Future Islands at the 02 Acadamy. My mate has been banging on about them, "best band at Glastonbury" etc. so we combined a nice day out in Newcastle with the gig.
What a disappointment. Every song sounded exactly the same, the same tempo throughout, and as for the lead singers quite ridiculous dad dancing, well the least said the better. Definitely a flavour of the month band who everyone will have forgot about next year in my opinion. There again, I am 60 so could be I'm just talking bollocks and they're shit hot.

I like everything really. From the britpop bands like UB40 right back to classic rock, like Wings. They're only the band the Beatles could have been.
