Lovely quote from the great Mark E Smith on the Mumfords: "We were playing a festival in Dublin the other week. There was this other group like, warming up in the next sort of chalet, and they were terrible. I said ‘shut them cunts up’ and they were still warming up, so I threw a bottle at them."

Went to see To Kill a Mocking Bird at Theatre Royal Newcastle, last night. A fantastic production. It was also frightening to discover that Bob Ewart's lines had all be taken off Brietbart forums by Aaron Sorkin.

Went to see RSC Hamlet last night at Theatre Royal, Newcastle. A somewhat uninspiring production. Did love what they did with the ‘players’ scene though and the BSL interpreter was an absolute star.

Petrol companies are not just profiteering. They are doing it whilst waving wads of £100 notes and baring their arses to drivers as the pull onto the forecourt. Cheapest place near me has gone up 6p litre unleaded since Friday night🤬

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

In 1980, Tyne Tees' magazine show for teens, CHECK IT OUT, gave kids in the North-East of England the lowdown on nuclear war. And it's a delight from start to finish. Future 'The Tube/Top of the Pops' producer Chris Cowey there, with the perm and mussie.

Whilst not one of my fave songs, I have always had a real soft spot for Bowie's Jazzin For Blue Jean short film. Remember watching it when it was premiered on TV, Chanel 4 I think. Really showed his very British humour:
