Here's one for you. Tina Turner's "Private Dancer" is a seven and a half minute song. Seems a bit much.

Tina Turner Live in Barcelona in 1990 is on Sky Arts and it looks like there’s approximately 3.5 million people in the crowd.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show (I did film because I watch more film than TV) you watched are coming to rescue you.

"Once I was in the Malibu emergency room getting a weigh-in and this guy walked up to me. He had curly hair and was on the short side. 'Are you Brian Wilson?' he asked. 'Yeah,' I said. 'Hi,' he said. 'I’m Bob Dylan.'"

Fare thee well, Brian. You really did it. Bravo.

Comical. Spectacular cross, but a comical attempt at a finish.

It’s Gene Wilder’s birthday. Wilder accidentally stabbing himself in the leg in Young Frankenstein is comedy gold. The man could go big & broad but I loved when he underplayed it. That slow crossing of the leg, & raising his hand to his mouth…

I couldn't NOT do this.

100 years ago today, the nation's evening newspapers were reporting on Herbert Chapman being appointed as the new Arsenal manager. It was at this moment that the club's future changed as he would make The Arsenal the most famous club in the world.

Happy with my wee haul from @doricstudio.bsky.social. Really cool to see the local pride and artwork on display at Edit at the Bon Accord Centre in Aberdeen.

Isn’t Kepa the one who refused to come out of that game?

Jess Park off for England. In November, we ran into some of the Manchester City women’s team in Stockholm before they played Hammarby. They looked SO young (that’s more a reflection of my age). “Which age level?” I asked. “First team,” she said, like I was a dummy. Later realised it was Jess Park.

Said it before but the worse things get it bears repeating. You are not a ‘creative’ or a ‘maker.’ You’re an artist, & if you choose to distinguish, a playwright, painter, whatever. These words have a lineage, they mean something. They’re politically important. Take responsibility.

That could be the fella sat next to me at New Year's Eve dinner at The Albyn in 2022.

MILWAUKEE! Go to this. Spectacular—some might say magic—soundtrack.
