Buddy Guy: 'I'm the Last Old Man Playing the Blues' At 89, Buddy Guy is a vital link to the roots of an entire genre. He’s also just plain vital, with a key role in this year's 'Sinners'

The strange thing, is to monetise the things we do to help each other when we’re in trouble. You and I would always stop if we see a road accident and try to help out but ‘greedy feckers’ figured out how to monetise help! Simples!!

I don't want to live in a blowhard nation 
With the king in a tinselly crown 
When the whole thing wobbles 
And the wheels come off 
You know what's gonna go down
It's the same sad story 
'Bout the power and the glory
And the big shots livin' uptown 
It's the old rat race
So get ready for the chase 
'Cause the fat cats are gaining ground

Stephen Fearing

Wildflowers bloom before you
Breaching the fist
of winter's rule
I know they'll die, so do you
'Cause winter is long
And winter's cruel

All of this living
Just to lay our head down 
All that is given
Taken back once we've hit
The ground

Rachel Sumner
