Couldn’t agree more, and thank you for saying this. Sharron Davies should be ashamed of herself – this campaign has clearly extended beyond a legitimate protection of women’s rights and into the arena of pur […]

Late addition from me. I ran the London marathon yesterday. First marathon I’ve ever run, although I do run a lot of halfs. An absolutely phenomenal experience. I didn’t think I could love the city any mor […]

I did wonder what they were doing in there. Perhaps an extended adolescence? Or maybe they consider the title of 1979 sufficient to ensure sonic consistency?

If you can only have two…. Live 66 “Albert Hall” Time Out Of Mind One of the greatest live albums of all time, and the three Bobs: Folk Bob, Rock Bob, and Old Man Bob.

London. It’s fucking fantastic.

I guess the framing of this as Trump’s war is designed in part to help peel voters away from him/the Republicans. If you inexorably tie Trump and his previous voters together, and force them to defend his […]
