One of Joan Baez's most poignant songs, a cry to Bob Dylan after he, in many people's eyes, abandoned the causes dear to Joan's heart. Dylan was , in later years, harshly dismissive of the song and the sentiments. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUcY...

Musing on the way there's always one woman so taken with the music that she climbs on her partner's shoulders, takes off her t-shirt and shakes her boobs, I think back to last year and the shouts of "Stop that, you're at midnight mass" and "Gran, for pity's sake!" Happy Xmas

I've almost given up reporting even the vilest threats on Twitter (which are usually racist or misogynist) as nothing is done by Musk mods. Still, at least one is active as I've received a 12 hour lockout.

In tribute to Elon Musk, who has managed to turn Twitter from a $42billion company into a $9billion cesspit and is about to apply the same techniques to most of the USA and the wider world, here's a bit of Bob Marley. www.youtube.com/watch?v=43cf...

Did they beat the drum slowly? Did they sound the pipe lowly? Did the rifles fire o'er you as they lowered you down? Did the bugles sing "The Last Post" in chorus? Did the pipes play "The Flowers of the Forest"? www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWhO...

From Midge Ure: "Why does it feel like all the survivors of the Titanic have built Titanic 2 and sailed off looking for a bigger iceberg?"
