Shownotes Transcript
The song I have sent you this week is called “The Colour of Time”…and it was one of my rare collaborations…a friend of mine called Patricia Knapton came up with the title…I composed the music and we both worked on the lyrics. I really like this song and it has a nice twist at the end….I produced this back in the 90s but I am thinking of re-vamping it…I have a few ideas for it.
.E cigarettes have hit the news….because they are 75% safer than ordinary ciggies (according to research…probably by the makers of E cigarettes)…it has been suggested that they go on prescription from the NHS….which is struggling by the way….what a load of tripe!!!...who comes up with these brainwaves?....”Oh…it will help people stop smoking”….smokers will save money buying these things…so why don’t THEY invest THAT…instead of ME paying for their filthy habit?...whichever way they go you can guarantee the cigarette companies wont lose money.
Bullying has reared its ugly head with kids in school being made very unhappy…Boo Hoo…perhaps if they get off the internet for 5 minutes and get out and play they might find the problem is solved. They are coming up with allsorts of reasons why they are bullied….but we never hear the other side of the story…..or see the parents. What these politicians don’t seem to comprehend is you cannot legislate for stupid morons who have yet to evolve….there will always be bullies…there always has been … but they are a minority…a brainless minority.
Strictly Come Dancing is coming back soon…I must say I do enjoy it….with celebs and wonderfully sculpted ladies gliding around a dancefloor what is there for the dads not to like. One of the celebs will be Carol Kirkwood the weather girl who is great….so I’m looking forward to a bit of decent telly for a change…..and no more Brucie…it gets better all the time!!
Last week they had a programme looking back at the history of Saturday night TV….there were some really good programmes back then…where did they all go? Morecambe and Wise….Game for a Laugh…Candid Camera…..etc.
Britain’s Got Talent has come under fire because the woman and her dog who won it CHEATED!!!....she had TWO DOGS!!!...what is the world coming to…she’ll be taking drugs next and entering the next Olympics.
And all those viewers who voted for her are going to get a refund….it’s like a comedy sketch….anyone who sits in front of a TV and wastes money on a phone call to make someone else famous needs serious help.…but there you are…there is no hope.
5.There was a programme celebrating the music of Frank Sinatra with various celebs singing his songs…I know the guy was enormously popular…and I know he was world famous…and I know hw sold millions of records…but I just didn’t get him…never did….I liked Bing and Perry Como and Danny Kaye…great crooners…but I always found Sinatra to have a “dry” voice and in his later years was a bit out of tune.
He did nothing for me I’m afraid…but I like the songs and have sung many of them myself with my band…..and I’m sure if Frank was still here he wouldn’t care less what I thought........Come to think of it I never got Johnny Cash either…but there you are.
