Ah, the heady days of the early 1970's, when Status Quo were a great (and cool) rock band. Take me there now.

Guns N Yorkshire Roses at richmond comrades club

After a week of feeling crap with a bad cold / man flu / covid, I had some red wine at home on Friday night and then went to see Guns n Yorkshire Roses last night.  A splendid time was had by all, I got dropped off at my local pub afterwards, and ended up in there until after 01:00, when l braved the ghostly walk home yet again. Now pretty much recovered, although my lips are still cracked.  I guess when you are very very old it takes longer to recuperate, but l maintain that anyone else who had what l had would now be dead. Luckily l'm indestructible!

amazon's top notch delivery service

I've been dossing around at home expecting (yet another) album to arrive today, and of course the Amazon delivery person didn't bother knocking on my door.  My instructions if l'm not in are to leave any parcels in my shed and when l checked the website to see where the hell the parcel had got to, it was classed as delivered, and left 'in or near a shed'. However, after searching, I saw it on the floor by my garden gate, as though it had just been thrown over, which would have been fantastic for it if l had actually been out, and it started pissing down. There's also a good chance l may have been stood on it in the dark if myself or anyone else came through the gate. Their delivery photo has it balanced on the top of my gate, so l guess they took the photo and then just shoved it over.  Bastards!!!!  Luckily it was still in good nick.

elon musk versus the usaid

As the USA slides further into a fascist dictatorship, you have to remember - this is not normal, and the courts and law enforcement agencies, as well as any members of the GOP who actually have some backbone, should be preventing this, but of course things are only going to get worse, but we'll all have to suffer. No wonder l drink.

elon musk knows what he's doing

 Of course Elon Musk knows the difference between a Nazi salute and giving out love.  The below two pictures are actually from videos playing at the same time, but you get the meaning from the photos in isolation. He openly supports right wing fascist parties and tries to overthrow democracy. A very dangerous man with lots of hang-ups and issues.

rolling stone magazine hit the nail on the head

Rolling Stone magazine echo what l have said in the past and still believe. Donald Trump should currently be in jail, and the USA legal system, big money lawyers, sycophantic GOP members and tech CEO's are mostly responsible, although the Democratic party should have got their act together and defeated him.

Until l saw this picture the other day l hadn't given it a thought for years and had pretty much forgotten about it, but back in the distant past it used to be very, very popular.  Stephen Pearson's 'Wings of Love'. A mixture of the erotic, romantic and religious, and no, l did not own a copy.

t.rex boss the record mirror readers poll

Despite the fact that l love Marc Bolan and most things T. Rex related, Dandy in the Underworld was nowhere near the top album in 1977, and Bolan should not have achieved these results.  Obviously his recent death triggered happy memories of him and his music, and reminded people (myself included) how pivotal he had been in their lives, thus explaining the sympathy votes.

the donald trump dictatorship is already in full swing

So Jack Smith states that Donald Trump would have been found guilty regarding the insurrection charges around the storming of The White House to overturn his electoral defeat, but can't be prosecuted because he is the USA President (to be). This case should have been enacted years ago, and is a failure of the American legal system. As Trump will have his many mealy mouthed cowardly supporters in the senate and congress, in the judicial system, and is being backed by rich social media lickspittles so he will have most of the media and internet on his side, what is going to stop him staying in power, and ignoring future election results that don't go his way (if they take place at all). It's a bad time for democracy and the rise of the far right round the world. No wonder l drink.
