Musical ones, specifically. I recently reacquainted myself with Springsteens 'Born To Run' album, on the basis that he must have just lost his way and there was some spark of genius, or something, there once.


No. Pish, and always has been.


Van Morrison falls into the same category. Mediocre songs sung in a mediocre voice. And being grumpy does not equate with being soulful.


And that Jim Morrison, he's another one...

there you go Keef , theres 3 to be getting on with . :))

The music I grew to hate (along with my younger brothers) was often dictated by which one of my parents was in the driving seat on our yearly holiday on the continent.


Dad would make an enormous public fuss concerning my mothers competence on the european highway and suggested that he should take the wheel when faced with the challenging alpine roads. Incidentally, my dad has acrued 9 penalty point where as mums license is clean.


So, on long non-stop journey's from London to Austria or Italy my father would bore the teeth from our gums by playing his Simply Red or Genesis collection.


Mum would brighten up the journey by playing these amongst others while my dad sulked. We sang along.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that. 
    • Reeves says she's in charge and no no's Rayners plan, what happens now?
