Prog-pop is the most unfashionable genre. Great musicianship but, as one of ELO said, stripped intentionally of all R+B influence.

Because Christ had such high regard for wealth! “…international financial bodies, which make it more difficult for people to shelter their wealth in tax havens, are one sign the antichrist may be amassing power and hastening Armageddon, saying: “It’s become quite difficult to hide one’s money” #FFS

In Spain, in the middle of the 20th century, it was common to give traffic policemen wine and cava for the holidays. The custom petered out in the 1970s.

A gem well within:

"Is/was 'passion' an 'important asset' or a form of those 'blinders'? Whether in business or in writing. Maybe both. What ever happened to well-earned hard-bitten steely-eyed objectivity?"

A lot of words to get there, but worth your time

Well, things came to be which were not certain. The unknown became the known - or will be when the covers are lifted later. Time is a’ticking. That’s never as clear as the dawn when that zap of frost hits. And the Yankees lost. So it’s still a happy day. I can buy frikkin canned tomatoes all winter.

Forecast was for +3C but I took measures anyway. Dipped to -0.3C just before dawn at the airport so I’ll have to see what survived out there in a couple of hours.
