Bloody hell I turn my back and they start blaspheming. I?ll not have it I tell you! Hendrix could play as quickly and technically as any of his contemporaries most notably Eric Clapton. The thing was he did it with his own very unique style and touch of flare which is what made him great. I have always wondered about that guitar of his though. It must have been made by the same guy as that Citroen I rented in France that had the steering wheel on the wrong side.
The fact that diseases like polio are not prevalent in the western world has precisely everything to do with vaccination and nothing to do with the fact that we are so scandalously privileged that we have a choice of 100 different kinds of soap.
My mother actually does think garlic is exotic. She doesn't own the co-op though. In fact, to stay on topic here, none of my relations own any of the businesses on Forest Hill Road.
The guy was involved in the making of some good rock ?n roll and could have gone on to great things but he?s ballsed it all up now by becoming a ?celebrity?
I don?t quite understand this hatred of perambulators that some people have. It is not like they are some new phenomenon invented by the evil bourgeoisie to use as frontline cavalry in their expansionist class war. They are just vehicles for pushing kids around in that have been widely used for over 100 years. You get some pretty over the top ones I must say but this isn?t new. The Victorians had some pretty elaborate ones as well. I saw one on LL the other day that had disc brakes which I thought was pretty cool but completely unnecessary. Personally when I reproduce I?m going to build a cart with shiny chrome wheels and flames painted down the side to push the kids around in.
So people did not wear hooded shirts, capes, coats, cowls, habits etc. until the Americans invented them. Well you learn something new every day. But let?s be fair. We do owe them for bringing democracy to the world.
A colleague of mine has just suggested that Rob Schneider would be just the fellow to play me in a film. There will be drawing pins on his chair when he returns from the coffee machine.
A valid argument there Jah but one that sadly does not seem to be eagerly accepted when used in an attempt to placate an irate female. For such situations I would council innocent eyes, a boyish grin and a sturdy pair of running shoes.
It would have to be someone who can do a plausible Seffriken accent, which rules out any American or British actors. As she grew up in my hometown Charlize Theron may have a stab at it but there would be certain anatomical problems like for instance she has the wrong colour hair. Anyway I question her acting abilities and feel that a Benoni girl running about in foreign parts and winning Oscars is just showing off. Actually giving it some thought I reckon it can?t be done. You couldn?t capture this on celluloid.
Drinking the spoils from Wednesday?s EDF pub quiz win, Smoking a ciggy, listening to Elvis, waiting for Mrs B to get home and flicking the hosepipe around for next-door?s cat to play with. Oh and posting on the EDF.
Completely off on a tangent from where we have been today but as he has now been dead since I was 2 months old! Everybody: The King The man never wrote a song but performed them like no other.
I love Sublime! Here?s another vid of thiers (featuring Lou Dog and Ron Jeremy) Sublime - Date Rape I would urge anyone who is offened by the title to listen to the whole song.
Speaking of surreal vids from that era: Soundgarden ? Blackhole Sun Or just good tunes from a little bit earlier without a surreal vid although it should have had one: Pixies - Alison I?ve been trying to track down Camper van Beethoven?s video version of Pictures of Matchstick Men but can?t find it.
