I've been listening to to Tom Waits all afternoon, I wonder if they'd like him. Thought I'd share this one with you, one of my all time favs. Take Me Home https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sglrbx6rVo
Thanks to social media there definitely is no name suppression in New Zealand. A little bit of searching starts to reveal an unappealing picture of a family of entitled ones. A position may demand respect but their actions can easily undermine that respect and certainly have done so in this case.
Yay Donna! Clear-eyed, straight shooter she is. I still remember her firing a coiled streamer straight into the person's head seated one row ahead at a Buddy Holly musical. It had meant to reach the stage 💥
I followed the link that I thought was taking me to Linda Burgess' Sunday essay, but ended up at Simon Sweetman's blog about his Favourite Tarantino movies. Not that that was a bad thing. His rankings were pretty close to mine, but I like Inglourious Basterds a lot more than he does.
Was the link off-target or did I misread where it would take me?
Did you see this one David?

Hi David
I followed the link that I thought was taking me to Linda Burgess' Sunday essay, but ended up at Simon Sweetman's blog about his Favourite Tarantino movies. Not that that was a bad thing. His rankings were pretty close to mine, but I like Inglourious Basterds a lot more than he does.

Oh, the irony of the Taxpayers Union in accepting taxpayer funding from Creative NZ to produce banal, musically unintelligible crap like this!
