I was looking at the Red Lion web site to see who was playing there tonight. I do not think anyone is. There is a note on the site to the effect that the brewery, Green King, has cut the music budget due to the current economic conditions. So instead of live music four times a week it is going to be twice a week, maybe occasionally three times a week.

I would like to point out to any bankers who maybe reading this, that the credit crunch thing is now personal, and YES we do have a problem.

Looking at last week’s vid of Bowie in the 80s made me go look for some of his stuff from the 70s. This is when, under the influence of my elder sister, I became a Bowie fan.

This is “Starman” another classic Bowie song. It looks like it is from “Top of the Pops.” I used to think this was the coolest thing on TV. Not that I’d call it “cool” back then, “Fab” maybe.

It is so painful to watch now, particularly the audience. Maybe they had rules about the audience enjoying themselves too much.

Punk saved me from all this, but more of that next week.
