No, he's far smarter. But instead of bone spurs he has a rather serious case of Achille's heel.

UK: Brian Eno, Neneh Cherry and Nai Barghouti are trying to top the UK charts with "Lullaby" this Christmas. You can buy it on Amazon UK amzn.to/3KXoSsP #Gaza #Christmassong

The UK's anthem has a sixth verse and it's a real stinker ,😄 a-lyric.com/2007/12/uk-a.... #uk #anthem #lyrics

Heh!

Quote of the day: 😆

This was the vey first song I "liked" on #Spotify. Typically, it's because I co-wrote it. Still a banger: open.spotify.com/track/56vYO8... #eurodance #musicsky

We're pretty clear about what is currently wrong in the #musicbiz and #AI. Here's a more interesting subject: what would a better musicbiz look like? Worth read: musicx.substack.com/p/music-indu...

Nobody mentioned his smallish role in Coppola's sprawling jazz extravaganza "Cotton Club"

Speaking of #Iceland and #Eurovision, they almost sent a Palestinian to Eurovision in 2024! Weird but true! a-lyric.com/2025/05/euro...

I've felt this for a while. This actually explains why

I read a lot of biogs and auto-biogs. So why would I pass on Mike Batt's one? a-lyric.com/2025/12/the-... #songwriting

At last, some serious discussion of song lyrics!

Not surprisingly, there's a move to ban Israel from the #Eurovision, and 600k people have already signed secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/...

Just came across this oddity again. What a singer, what a vibe - oh, mon dieu. La Zarra repped France at the #Eurovision a few years (not with this song, alas) but to no avail youtu.be/3_RDu0N9vNA?... #chanson

Another little milestone. Feel free to join the conversation any time

Val Doonican is breaking bad 😜

First time I heard this - makes sense!

10 years ago, I worked on a novelty project around #Strauss. Turns out this song is perfect for Pete Hegseth and the Cosplay Cabinet: "They'll find out everything we do..." Warning: this song contains #polka vibes. :-D youtu.be/2Pz68mXC_Wo?...

I could laugh. I could cry. Let me just check with ChatGPT on this...

Speaking of Kneecap...

Years ago, I used to listen to rap in Wolof. Now it's in a language I learned in primary school. They've taken someone else's weapon and loaded their own bullets youtu.be/ss9fRdpYdyI?... #gaeilge #kneecap

The first time I wrote lyrics for someone else's band was for the La Muerte. I knew the singer at the time, but not the project. He asked if I had any lyrics lying around. I sent a bunch and months later received a vinyl through the post. I was shocked! :-D youtu.be/gmylHehs5Uk?... #grunge

Remember dEUS? The lead singer Tom Barman directed this surprising flick in 2003: www.lacinetek.com/be/film/any-... In Dutch with subtitles
