Brit Rock 12th November

2011-11-13T12:42:00.002Z

I'm writing this shortly after the two minutes of silence on November 13th, remembrance Sunday. It's been wonderful to see all people of all ages giving money to the British Legion via the poppy wearing schemes. I have no problem with this but choose not to wear a poppy, if it becomes compulsorary, then it also becomes meaningless. It's more sincere to observe the silence in your own way than the countless hypocrites who wear the poppy, but are in a mindless conversation seconds before the silence, which they pick up the second afterwards. Obviously, their minds weren't thinking about the fallen, but about the continuation of whatever trivia was engulfing their minds. This was an observation I made recently.

A particularly joyful time for music as the odious Westlife announce they are calling it a day, having formed a "band" consisting of four mediocre singers who have been together for 14 years and have contributed absolutely nothing to music whatsoever. Not one thing.
I thought that a band had to consist of people playing instruments rather than just warbling cover versions of others work or giving the world insipid ballads that sound like they were written by the creators of Mills & Boon, perhaps even Dame Barbara Cartland in her present state of health (been dead for fifteen years).
Westlife and their manager Louis Walsh for me represent all that is vile and wrong in the music world. The demise of Westlife will begin to see the fall of the karaoke pop world as represented by the likes of Walsh and that supreme monger of pap - Simon Cowell. Mark my words, the empire of tosh is begging to fall and not before time.
Good riddance to Westlife and the lot of them.

A word in memory of Sir Jimmy Saville, OBE. One of the pioneers of DJ'ing. Noted for his charity work. A real individual who people are saying nice things about now he's died. Sunday lunch times were Jimmy Saville times on the radio, at a time when he'd get TV size audiences listening.
He had a peculiar habit of saying various catch phrases, "Now then guys and gals. At number two in the charts as we know, howz about that, it's the Rolling Stones, howz about that, arrr, arrrrr." This was from a habit of presenting TV shows where you'd be given a certain amount of time to say what you have to and ill where you need to.

Imagine the scene, I'm having a private conversation, someone hears what I'm saying and they dislike it. So rather than face me and tell me they don't like what I'm saying in this private conversation (which would risk them being told to mind their own business) they go to a national newspaper (which is staffed by tabloid journalists, who are the lowest of the low) who then run the conversation. Everyone suddenly has an opinion of my private thoughts, which results in me losing my job. Crazy idea? It happened this week at Sky Sports. I thought freedom of speech was a wonderful thing to be cherished. Beware of the thought police because one day they could be coming for you.

It's the UK so of course it's cold. Had the misfortune to see Bon Jovi on commercial TV, playing to an audience of trendies who'd look just as happy at a Take That concert. The whole thing was introduced by the nauseating Fearne Cotton, a woman whose main talent must be making the drinks because it certainly isn't any kind of presenting. Bon Jovi have bugged me since I saw them on the Slippery When Wet tour in 1986, they were a decent band before, then they were pandering to selective rock fans. I remember at the concert, it started badly when the curtains opened and we were engulfed by girlie screams, there was a stupid kid in front of us break dancing, and they turned the whole thing into a pantomime, "Hey, my side can sing louder than yours Ritchie". I still play them, but as it says outside one of their recent concerts, Bon Jovi - sold out. I quite agree.

A billion

2010-04-24T10:22:00.001+01:00

The next time you hear a politician use the word ‘billion’ in a casual manner, think about whether you want the ‘politicians’ spending YOUR tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases. Absorb every detail of what follows:

A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

E. BUT at the rate our government is spending it a billion UK Pounds ago was ONLY 13 HOURS AND 12 MINUTES.

Let’s consider Taxes:

Building Permit Tax, Cigarette Tax, Corporate Income Tax, Income Tax, Unemployment Tax, Fishing License Tax, Food License Tax, Fuel Permit Tax, Petrol/Diesel Tax, Hunting License Tax, Inheritance Tax, Inventory Tax (tax on top of tax), Liquor Tax, Luxury Tax, Marriage License Tax, Property Tax, Real Estate Tax, Service charge taxes, Social Security Tax, Road Usage Tax, Local Tax, Vehicle License Registration Tax, Vehicle Sales Tax, Workers Compensation Tax, Value Added Tax, Pension Tax

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago… And our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world.

What happened ? Politicians.
