Politicians hide themselves away.
They only started the war.
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor.
Time will tell on their power minds.
Making war just for fun,
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
Wait 'till their judgment day comes...
- Ozzy Osbourne, "War Pigs"

Slade are like the forgotten giants of my childhood. They were massive! It is a great album. They can act too. I love this film. My only criticism is that it’s too short. Enjoy the Blu-ray! Let me know what you think.

Just rewatched this gorgeously dank and gritty slice of the real Britpop. Fancy being at the very height of your success and releasing the feel-crap-movie-of-the-summer. Absolute Legends.

Wow 😆

Took a break from social media for a while. It was all getting a bit much, and I struggle in Winter as it is. Anyway, it’s Spring now! Hurrah!
