There is no performance of him in any capacity I've watched which hasn't left me wanting to watch him over and over again.<BR/><BR/>How many of today's so-called entertainers would be able to pitch up on television and perform a song unrehearsed with a band that, as you say, actually knocks the studio version into a cocked hat.<BR/><BR/>Book is arriving from Amazon tomorrow, good job I have the day off to appreciate it.JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06535861894607063504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853971.post-57154325687327192332008-10-30T21:17:00.000+00:002008-10-30T21:17:00.000+00:00This is really an attempt by the Mail and its ilk ...This is really an attempt by the Mail and its ilk to get *two* vast stories out of the news - the economic crisis (caused by their own beloved neoliberalism) and Barack Obama, whose election would be the greatest blow to their credibility since Suez.<BR/><BR/>Those who like Brand and Ross are no doubt deeply offended by what Peter Hitchens says when he appears on Any Questions? But they do not - whatever Hitchens and his acolytes may imply to the contrary - launch campaigns to ban Hitchens from broadcasting. Those who would walk on hot coals if Hitchens told them to seem far less tolerant, for some reason.<BR/><BR/>*Two* people complained when it actually went out. Those who would have been offended recognised that the show was not for them and did not listen, just as I don't listen to Alan Titchmarsh. The whole business is a new nadir for Britain and British life.Robin Carmodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825645880870474801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853971.post-76845682517332654042008-10-30T14:42:00.000+00:002008-10-30T14:42:00.000+00:00The UK is heading for sovereign default in a coupl...The UK is heading for sovereign default in a couple of months or so but both the Prime Minister and David Cameron have decided that the Brand-Ross issue deserves their urgent attention instead.
