Blog: Quietness Forecast

Sorry for all the SILENCE on here just lately - this is my month off from The Road, and although there's ROCK stuff bubbling around (I've started the video for the next single, for instance) there's also quite a bit of WORK (as in my job, not ROCK work!) going on and also quite a lot of Sitting Around At Home Watching Telly. It's lovely, but not very blogworthy!

This is unlikely to change for a while - especially as I took possession of The Beatles Boxset this morning! Gosh, they really were QUITE GOOD weren't they? So far I've only listened to 75% of "Past Masters" and it is BLOWING MY TINY MIND! I'm going to the End Of The Road Festival for the weekend with my pal Simon, and we're going to have a MASSIVE BEATLES SESSION all the way there and, hopefully, back. I like The Beatles. They are GRATE, and I will stand by this RARE and ORIGINAL opinion no matter who opposes me!

Anyway, the thing I was going to mention was a FREAKY occurrence in the comic shop at lunchtime. It being Thursday I'd popped in as per and was looking through a magazine called "Crikey", which had lots of articles about British Comics in them. I spotted a page with a letter from THARG THE MIGHTY. "I got one of those once!" i thought - I'd entered a competition and was one of the lucky 175 EARTHLETS to win a copy of Titan Books' compilation of the second half of The Cursed Earth. I remember reading my name published in a long list of winners in the prog about a year later... and there, in "Crikey" was that a photograph of that very page with the list and my name! I let out an involuntary "HA!" in the queue to pay and had to EXPLAIN myself to everybody else, and left with a BIG GRIN and a massive feeling of PRIDE - OK, I admit that I got my Nan to help me with the competition, but I'd never EVER won a competition before and it was a BIG MOMENT in my young life.

Funny how these things come back to you isn't it? Much like listening to The Beatles again, i guess!
