I’m sorry for what he has to deal with. I am angry and ashamed of those who are racists and I am in awe of his knowledge and strength. Much love to him.

Sobering point, well made...

Ah man, don't get me going with Bishop Brennan! Jim Norton's in a league of his own. His reading of Ulysses is my favourite audiobook performance of any work of literature I've ever heard anywhere. He creates 100% distinct voices for every single character, even walk-ons like the English soldiers.

Tom Robinson @tomrobinson.com · 19d

Agreed. And what a cast!

Hello Pascal. Yeah I remember that gig & still don't know the answer to your question. Danny was outstanding - the absolute star of TRB - he has his own Wikipedia page. After his untimely death in 2019 I posted this video youtu.be/m6ysjFl19AU in tribute to his musicianship & amazing stage presence.

Carspreading: when big cars make our cities smaller. SUVs have gone from 3% to 30% of existing cars in the past two decades. So obviously not everybody loathes the blooming things as much as I do. But if you do, and would like to read more blatant anti-SUV propaganda, see link in biog.
