Further Random Thoughts

Following a viewing of The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert on DVD, as a recovery session/master-class, I've had a lesson from Brian May on how to remember chords & lead lines for a variety of songs, I am abashed.

For that matter, Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath learned a bunch of Queen & other songs for just the 1 gig. I am shamed.

I need to practise my scales.

However... the DVD misses out on the great sets by Exrtreme, Metallica & various others (including, fortunately, Guns 'n'Roses), that make the video worth keeping. And you'd think they'd be able to spell the lead singer of Metallica's name correctly in the credits... Even I know it's Hetfield!!

Nobody cooks fish on a hotplate like I do...

I agree with this guy. Every year... no matter what the personal take or slogan ~ the message is the same. 'C' is for Capitalism. Doesn't matter what encyclicals the new Pope, or whoever, has released this year, 'X'mas has become the capitalist excuse for 11.85 months of regret, neglect & fatuousness & it has become accepted practice that a box of Guylian chocolates will cover a multitude of sins... 'til February.

However self-obsessed/absorbed I get, I should not forget the rest of the world... Ergo ~

I forgot a friend's birthday from 6 days ago... what kind of fool/friend am I???!!

I am (pleasantly) surprised that that chap wasn't forced to take down his Christmas decoration, to be honest. I would've thought there'd be at least one cry of "Think of the CHILDREN!!!" by now...
