@ The Great North RunPhew! it was exhausting running the 13 miles from Newcastle to South Shields and then having to play a gig at the end of it! But fortunately we didn't have to do the running part. The gig was held in a huge marquee on the sea front. It was chucking it down outside, but that didn't dampen the spirits of the fans in the big tent! We rocked the joint for a good hour and a half, and played an encore of Cool for Cats, Slap 'n' Tickle and Up the Junction. But that did not satisfy the crowd - No! - they were still shouting for more as Chris Difford sped off in his car to get to - wherever it was he was going! And being the fast mover and shaker that he is - I understand that he got there 10 minutes before he'd set off!

BUNK UP NOW!
well, it's 3 am and I am in my bunk aboard the good ship 
...
...actually I'm on a tourbus heading for the ferry across to Ireland.
NOW ... do you know the three tourbus rules that HAVE to be obeyed?
- answers on a £20 note please ...
No. 1. when you are in your bunk make sure that you sleep with your feet in the direction the bus is travelling. This is so that if the driver has to stop suddenly, you just break your ankles as opposed to your neck!
No. 2. No Number two's down the loo!
No. 3. There are no rules
No. 4. (Yes - my 3 rules go up to 4!)
What happens on the bus stays on the bus... but sadly not anymore what with the advent of 'face buck'. (two puns for the price of one there!)

My Recurring Nightmare (No's 22 & 27) ...
~~~i'm desperately trying to get to the stage - but just cant seem to get there - it's like i'm walking through some kind of jelly - eventually i make it to my amplifier - but where's my bass? there it is! - but why are all the strings hanging off of it? - its all out of tune - i look at the 1st. song on the set list - it's called Pinocio - i've never heard of it! Glenn counts it in - 1 2 3 4 - 5 6 7 8 - 9 10 jack Queen King Ace - what? - maybe i can busk it - i don't even recognise any of the musicians - but they all seem to know how it goes -

WELCOME to BONOVILLE ...
play "Vicar Street" in Dublinwell the atmosphere backstage was very much like being in America. The dressing rooms were plush. The velvet walls of the Artists Chillout area were adorned with original paintings by Bono. There was enough food and drink on the rider to feed the world - 'don't they know it's Xmas Time?'. And everyone spoke in riddles ... to be sure ... All the doors backstage had a code that you needed to remember in order to get in or out. It was the date that Guinness was founded, and I was locked in the dressing room ... was it 1759? no - 1658? no -
Locked in me own dressing room! Lemme oughta here! I had to phone my astrologer Alan Card to text me the date. It was 1758 ... free at last!

Grumpy Blogger has a moan # 643.
Hanson: saviour of mankind? - or just another recession drummer?
He (Simon) told me that he loves writing music - and that he doesn't want any profit from it - he just loves the creative process. Well Simon with that attitude you'll probably be the next Marvin Hamlish! But seriously - you've hit upon the simple solution to solve all the problems facing mankind. If only we could all create or manufacture things we love without the motive of profit making - then we would be on our way to a brighter better future.
Money truly IS the root of all evil!
Producing goods for profit promotes the manufacture of inferior quality products, and spawns an apalling waste of recourses. These days the things we buy are designed to break down after a short period of time. Then we just chuck away the old one and buy a new one.
The Wright brothers weren't motivated to invent a flying machine to make money. They were driven by the challenge - by the creative process.
The worlds resources are finite - and time is running out - we need to build better quality longer lasting products. Every time a computer or mobile phone is up-dated hundreds of thousands of products become redundant and end up in land-fill sites all over the world. All this waste of recourses could be avoided if the 'money' people designed their products so that they could incorporate up-dates. Of course they could do this - and the reason they don't - profit motivation.
If everybody could follow Simons Simple philosophy of
"do it cause you love it - not because you can make money from it"
then very soon it would become abundantly clear that the monetary system is the one thing that is holding us back from creating a better future for our children. moan over and out ... back on your heads!
