Stairway to Heaven
So, George and Tony do their bit in Iraq so the rest of us can sleep safely in our beds because we have reduced the threat of terrorist activity. I reckon someone should have told Al-Qaeda. Three more off to Valhalla to collect their virgins and who knows how many blasted back to stardust.
Saudi Arabia ? What complexion of Government do you think they would have if 'free and fair' elections were held there ? I don't think its one that George and Tony would approve of that's for certain.
Sad news this morning that Noel Redding ex Hendrix bassist and Fat Mattress frontman has shuffled off this mortal coil and the young age of 57. I remember being absolutely enthralled by The Jimi Hendrix Experience when I first saw them one Saturday evening back in the sixties on the Lulu show - of all things. They played live and halfway through 'Hey Joe' Hendrix stopped and started playing 'Sunshine of your Love' as a tribute to Cream who had just split up. I remember Lulu having to shout over the end credits 'cos they wouldn't stop playing. Many letters from 'Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells' followed because it was an afront to The Queen, Lord Reith, Great Britain and the Empire. Us young 'uns thought it was fecking wonderful.
Later in life I read about Noel in Pete McCarthy's 'McCarty's Bar'. An excellent read by the way. He was living in some small village in Ireland and used to get up and play with a few acquaintences in the local pub. Apparently his mother lived there and he frequently flew over to see her.
