The last New York Doll has left the building

Very sad news about David Johansen: I loved the Dolls OGWT appearance - androgynous, chaotic, ludicrous and hard rocking. I interviewed Johansen in 2022 and he sharp and funny. Farewell - you really made a contribution

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

No matter what happens tonight, the sun will rise tomorrow.

REPOST if you stand with President Zelenskyy against Trump and Vance!

What a pathetic and childish insult to SNP MP Stephen Flynn and the WASPI Women as he presents his WASPI Bill in Westminster. They mock and laugh as someone shouts out "Freedom".

The one area where a bit of austerity might do some good.

Good morning America. Today we celebrate the nation of Walt Whitman, Sitting Bull, Rosa Parks and Woody Guthrie. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3V-... Music: The Waterboys playing Woody's THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND in 1988.

Sobering discussion on Today of the tech billionaires jostling to buy influence with Trump, so they can gut the regulation of their industries. It's plutocratic feudalism, with tech-barons fighting to control the court. The long project to bring economic power under democratic control is in ruins.

A passage from the Tao that’s frequently worth revisiting.

Some December midnight Christ, lord, lie warm in our byre. Here are stars, an ox, poverty enough. —George Mackay Brown, “A Child’s Calendar” published in FISHERMEN WITH PLOUGHS (Hogarth Press 1971) #Christmas #poetry

Proper four-on-the-floor rock and roll

Edwyn Collins - A girl like you. 30 years old today, and still one of the greatest songs ever made. Tina approves, she is looking down from my wall, where’s she’s been sat for the last 30 years! @edwyncollins.bsky.social 🧡

It’s Scottish Budget day - what should we expect? The UK budget delivered £3.4bn of extra funding for Scotland, which will certainly help alleviate immediate pressures. But the pressures on the public finances are far from over 🧵

Repost with a cool song that's under two minutes A very fine choice from Jimmy in the quoted post, I'm going to go in a different direction with this minute and a bit of joy 💚 youtu.be/MAvOKDCxX6M?...

Japan: evidently responsible for much of the damage to the ozone layer…

Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94. His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.

The forthcoming #TheWaterboys album features several guests. No it isn't one of those dreaded "duet" albums. It's a rock'n'roll record with a flavour of Americana and some cool friends join in the fun. And for the first time ever the opening track is sung by someone who isn't me. Here is his beard.

One giant personal hurdle overcome ✊🏻 Me. Right now. Tuesday 19th November 2024. Back in the game 😱

If you are a supporter of Scottish Independence you can only but be inspired #ScottishIndependence
