Stop breaking into my house!!!

Charlie Kirk says gun deaths "unfortunately" worth it to ... The conservative founder of Turning Point USA made the comments following a mass shooting in Nashville last week that resulted in six deaths.

You reap what you sow…

***FANTASTIC NEWS!!!*** My latest single ‘Before the Flood’ has jumped a massive nine places to this week’s NUMBER 8 on the UK Revival Chart Top 40!!! ❤️

A textbook trait of malignant narcissism.

I’d much rather be woke than half-asleep. 👍

If only she’d been a distant cousin of the Queen or something… 🤔

How did you get on, Tupperware PennyFarthing IV Drip? Have you taken a wrong turn? Are you still running? Should we now address you as Forrest Gimp? So many questions… 🤔

I have to say I’m absolutely loving your musical tastes! 👍😊

I’m a bit disappointed. I thought it was a chunk of sausage.

An early publicity photo by Philip Ollerenshaw (who, random fact, was the official photographer for Take That in the ‘90s!) very much in the style of Astrid Kirchherr’s early Hamburg photos of The Beatles. x

Niggly Fromage is an utter twunt.

“History doesn’t repeat itself, but it very often rhymes”, as Mark Twain is often reputed to have said. In America right now, ‘never again’ is happening again, only this time the Gestapo are now called ICE, and the Brownshirts are now the National Guard…

Just wait until they develop opposable thumbs…

My favourite Lennon LP. I borrowed heavily from the stripped-back piano/bass/drums vibe of some of the songs on JL/POB to record this particular track on my own ‘Kool for Katz’ album (although I did veer from the original brief, by including a Mellotron halfway through!) 😁

I’ve always loved this version of ‘One In a Hundred’, which featured all five original members of The Byrds. 👍

In 1936, FIFA chose Nazi Germany to be the host nation for the 1942 World Cup (which was subsequently cancelled due to the outbreak of WWII). FIFA has never particularly concerned itself with troublesome little issues such as ethics. It’s all about the money…

The bone spurs only trouble him when there’s any mention of Vietnam.

Been playing this beautiful 12-string in the studio earlier today, adding overdubs to what will more than likely be the next single. 😊❤️ xxx

My second favourite R.E.M. album (after ‘Green’) 😊

Apollo 13 moon mission leader James Lovell dies at 97 Astronaut James Lovell, who was commander of the 1970 Apollo 13 mission that managed to get back to earth safely after an oxygen tank explosion, has died. He was 97.

I’ve always had a great interest in Space. When I studied for my BSc (Hons) degree, aside from the compulsory courses I had to take, two of my elective courses were ‘Astronomy & Planetary Science’, and ‘Cosmology’.

And so, today’s news saddens me immensely. 💔 #jimlovell

You’re alive then! I’ll tell the RNLI to stand down…

Whistling you a Hairy Birthmark, Mr. Greased-Bin-Sale! 😊

My favourite track from the Help! LP, released sixty years ago today. John never really rated this song, but I absolutely LOVE it! And fellow Beatle People will no doubt be aware that he later recycled the verse’s melody and used it for ‘Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite!’ ❤️
