Tampa is awash with Superbowlites, they’re everywhere and all to see the men with big shoulders running around shouting until eventually throwing an odd shaped ball out of the ground. Everyone jumps up, play stops and an entire new team runs on. I don’t understand American football and I don’t think I ever will.
Nevertheless it’s [...]

I woke this morning expecting to see some replies to my e-mails from friends and colleagues, I log on, nothing! I grumbled to my mother who is staying with me at present while cursing the internet. Bless, she offered to take me in to town to see if I could buy the internet.
The cable guy, [...]

I’ve been thinking it might be time to give radio another shot. I did my first show in 1984 and my last in 1996 so that makes 12 years on and now 12 years off, so 2009 could spell a new beginning. We all know how radio has become crap and the only good radio [...]

I’ve been moving furniture around and I’m knackered. I’ve lost half the stuff I put in places to make it easier to find them but I suppose it’s bound to get easier when I eventually do find them.

I never finished telling you about the Bickershaw festival. That’s the problem I’ll start something, something else will come in to my head and I’ll think ‘must have a rant about that.’ And before you know it’s gone!

So today it all begins. Much as I am delighted to see Obama take the helm it’s just as exciting to see George Bush going. I’ll never understand how he got re elected though, one mistake you can condone but to ask him to come back and do it all over again is a little [...]

We need stars, we don’t have them any more and the ones that we do call stars are different, they’re train wrecks, they’re misfits, they’re tortured ‘artists’. But Lindsay, Britney, Madonna even, aren’t tortured like Janis was, Jimi Hendrix or Brian Jones were they are just people craving attention. It doesn’t matter if it’s they [...]

Ridiculous, insane! Here I am slumbering in my lounge, lounging in my slumber writing blog number whatever and I’m being savaged by biting insects. For God’s sake it’s January and while the world freezes it’s ass off I’m being bitten! Florida is nice, don’t get me wrong but the insects never get a day off, [...]

And so this was Christmas and what had we done ? Another year over a new one just begun. Cheers John. Well I don’t know about you but I was glad to see the back of it. The sadness of good friends passing away and just generally, disappointments. Not bothered though, all a learning curve [...]

The record industry needed to find something that would save them from themselves. They needed to find the solution before the problem,and now the problem is global and has spiraled out of control. Everyone with their own crosses to bear. With the economy taking such an unprecedented pounding you wouldn’t lay money on the music [...]
