.The song I have sent you this week is entitled "I'm In Love With Me" which I wrote in the mid 70's and was performed on TV by Bobby Sox and The Prizeguys......HOWEVER the version I have sent you was the original demo I did for wrestler Adrian Street who I replaced his voice for mine....the song was one of 22 I eventually wrote and recorded with him.....this version has never been played on air...Adrian went to The States and made a video of the song which was played on MTV.....it bought my house.
...Well well....no need to tell you what the news is full of.....Donald J. has got himself a new house...the whole thing has been a joke since the word go...everyone is jumping up and down for one reason or another....knowing only what the media want us to know....personally I couldn't care less....nothing America does surprises me...so it's best to wait and see instead of constantly trying to predict the future....on the positive side NO-ONE could be worse than George W. Bush.
...I regard myself as an average guy....and like everyone else I get totally confused with politics...which brings me to "Brexit"...the way I see it all is the country is run by greedy fat cats who feed us with all this complicated information which goes total over my head (and everyone else's)...so standing back I thought why should I be told what to do by the likes of Germany...and that's about it...having ignored the rest of the verbal garbage I voted OUT....but the fatcats tried to pull a fast one and "gave us a referendum" thinking we would all fall for the scare tactics..."throw them a few crumbs....then we can say it's what THEY decided"....but of course it all went horribly wrong...now they are all panicking trying to bring in laws to get them their own way....and even Prince Andrew has announced it would ruin the country...in other words it might be a bit more difficult for him to scrounge his millions off the State...times they are a changin'.....and we are all fed up with being ripped off by the filthy rich...the only man who seems to make sense is Nigel Farage....but he is leading a bunch of morons so he is like a great singer with a bad band.
... I have been watching a series on Netflix called The Crown which is about the Royal Family....it is very good and quite informative...how the other half live....I remember Churchill and Eden but didn't know much about them this puts you in the picture...my opinion of the Royals hasn't changed though...The Queen does a great job but the rest of them are a waste of space....with one or two exceptions...it makes you realise the distance between us and them....good programme though.
...I was surprised how quiet bonfire night was....personally I cannot stand fireworks...totally fail to see the point of sending money up in smoke...but the sheep must be entertained and given the opportunity to ogle at explosions in the sky and go "OOH...AHH"...and they had a big firework display on the Mersey I believe, but I haven't heard much about it...am I wrong or are we supposed to be making financial cuts?...not to mention the loss of eyesight and burns that ensues....I am not a killjoy but I have never seen the point of firework displays....the last one I watched was in Disney in Florida so there is little point attending any others.
