The best thing since...
Be with you in a minute.
I'm just watching some footage of Bruuuuuuuce Springsteen playing with Bob Seger at Madison Square Gardens last week. Old Time Rock'n'Roll. It's really great stuff And only 5 minutes or so. It's putting me in a classic rock kind of mood. It doesn't take much to be honest but the sight of these two esteemed gentlemen of ROCK parading themselves to such acclaim must give us all some heart. Even though it is hard to advocate the use of a headband, at any age.
A few bloggers in place for last night's charity do in Stratford with Danny Boyle talking about Millions (which we showed) and all his other films. It really is something to sit next to a (oscar-winning) director as his film is playing. You really have to like it and laugh at all the right places. Fortunately, it is a terrific film and I laughed at the same time as Danny did anyway. I suggested he recreate the throwing-money-around scene in the Olympics opening ceremony, for which he has responsibility. He wasn't convinced. Which is good thing.
Child 3's birthday saw the 5 Mayos together and eating in his favourite Portuguese chicken-based restaurant, followed by "Hugo" in 3D which was, for the second time, magnificent. I knew I might be in trouble when the a well known retailers ad had me welling up. I hadn't seen it before but had heard of its reputation. But there are a few moments in Hugo which will slay even the hardest heart. And so it was with me, even on second showing. And the man who plays George Melies (can't get the accents on this keyboard but it's an acute then a grave on the 2 es) is Sir Ben Kingsley and our guest tonight from 6.
And songs please about BREAD and BAKING in general. This is because there is a show on tonight called "The Big Bread Experiment" which has at its heart, the idea that there is an almost mystical quality of the LOAF. It's disguised as a reality show but it's a love song to BREAD, so let us sing along.
Have a reassuring and cheery Monday, see you after 5

Diabolical weather for the crossing this morning. Hail, rain and freezing wind - no fun whatsoever. Upon my return to civilization I shared a hot steaming bath with Ken Bruce (dont want to start rumers or anything, but he made me sit at the tap end)!
Had planned to dec the tree this weekend, but the best laid plans and all that. Im having trouble getting up in the loft with the doggey knee, so will have to await Hubbs day off to help out. He's been lucky enough to be offered extra hours this week at the bookshop, but it will meen we are without him in the evenings till nearly midnight. Yesterday while at work, someone came up to him and asked if the shop stocked 'Flyfishing' by J R Hartley (no really).

Can't think of any bread songs that aren't already there. But bread's worthy of the topic of the day - there's no finer food than a ham sandwich made with fresh white farmhouse loaf, butter and Wiltshire ham (no other added contaminants please). In the opinion of this person of simple tastes anyway :-)
Today's the day we curse the start of the American mid-season break. How do they cope over there when all the decent TV stops for a minimum of a month?

But I think not at that price. I'm seeing Madison Violet for £15 at the Borderline in January and Kathleen Edwards for not much more at the O2 place in Islington the month after. Two gigs for less than half the price of a Van gig - I think I'll be sticking to the transatlantic artists in the small venues. Especially as they will appreciate the crowd and you can never be sure that Van will :-)

There might be a confession developing....I put my blue socks on a radiator to dry this morning in a small side room. I've just gone to retrieve them and there are a couple of manager-looking types in there having a meeting....

I'm perfectly content to pay £15.50 for Ian Anderson doing The Christmas Jethro Tull [yup - the blurb calls him a 'rock legend'] at Salisbury Cathedral - a short walk away - on the 16th. His special guest - Greg Lake, who is my own personal 'prog rock legend'

£84 for Van Morrison? I like him but not for £84... I can see Judie Tzuke, The Hollies and Christy Moore for the same amount and have a better time! The last time I saw Van the Man was at Edinburgh Castle, when he ambled onto the stage like a grumpy dustman... good job he'd brought The Chieftains with him.. so at £84 (probably plus a booking fee and ridiculous postage charge, whether or not you collect them, print them or have them posted out)... no thanks Van!

But I've never been to the city centre as an adult other than to drive over the top on the way to the racecourse, where I've been multiple times, or to Whitsbury or to the football ground. There's hardly a better racecourse to spend a midweek afternoon afternoon at in the summer - haven't been for years, but it's my favourite of the "smaller" tracks.
Hmm, Greg Lake - white suit with flares?

#91 Van the Man is obviously increasing his prices, to make up for the lack of his pension due to govt cuts...come to think of it, he's probably already in receipt of a bus pass, pension, free teeth, etc so this extra money is just to make him happy (fat chance of that, as most folks who've seen him live will attest..)
I've seen him a couple of times - the first time expected there to be a support and when we arrived 3/4 hr after it started he was just going off to wait for his encore #1.
We were in the gods of the theatre, looking down on what appeared to be a singing hat! Looked like something from Michael Bentines 'Potty time'.
2nd time I dropped my tickets (out of my back pocket) and they were handed in at the box office - either that says van the man fans are kind, or the finder did not want to go themselves!!
Ace backing band he has though, but if you're buying for two people, not worth £120+.
