I love heavy rock.
I quite like heavy rock occasionally, I have some Iron Butterfly and Guns 'N Roses. At the moment I am going through an 80s retro thing. Pet Shop Boys (Discography on at the mo), Dr. Robert and The Blow Monkeys, Echo & The Bunnymen, Marc Almond, Morrissey even. It's music that cheers and uplifts the soul. Candyfloss maybe (except for Morrissey) - but sometimes you need that when the days are dark and drear and the light at the end of the tunnel seems a long way away. My favourite group is AC/DC, everything they did really - and I also love Robert Palmer, especially "Addicted to Love". It's music to dance to and to be free and uninhibited. There's nothing like a bit of headbanging to get rid of pent-up stress! Those were the days, when a good night out meant you came out very happy and deaf.  We went to Blackpool Tower today. Honestly the things I do for the love of this child. Jungle Jim's! I must be bonkers.  |

But one of the few lyricists, apart from Natalie Merchant, that seem to connect when it comes to 'Pop' I think. I could post some You Tubes but doubt if anyone would watch them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ErN8QxjRsI&feature=related |

People moan about Pears's voice, but I'd have to nominate Morrissey's as the most instantly hackle-raising so far as the Dough's concerned. It hurts my throat to hear it: such an instant turn-off that any merit that might lurk in his works is instantly lost to me. I have much the same problem with Bob Dylan, too. (Sorry, BobbyZ).

Goodness, Well Reel about the Fountain, William it was Nothing, Girlfriend in a Coma, Vicar in a TuTu, The More you Ignore Me, absolute classics! Funny, Morrissey, you either love him or hate him. I think it's a girl thing. He is so in touch with his feminist side maybe? I can listen and watch him for hours. I think his lyrics touch your heart. Just got Vauxhall & I on at the mo. |

Must be true what they say about juvenile offenders getting younger all the time... or is it policemen they say that about? For some of us it's High Court Judges that have started looking young. |

It was seeing an academic theologian obviously younger than me that was really depressing. (He was really tedious as a speaker. And there are theologians who can be quite fun.) |

Too true darling. Why, the other day I was up before The Beak for bad debts and singing salty songs to sailors and I said to him, that High Court Judge, 'Ere, you look awfully young, does your Mum know you wear a wig and dress in a frock? He had no reply to that. Case dismissed. |

The first time you realise that you are old enough to be your (18 and over) students' father/mother can be really scary. Next year's intake will have (for the most part) been born in 1990, the year after the Berlin Wall came down - eek.

Yes, that's a very scary one indeed, Ian. I'm now at the stage where I started teaching two years before next autumn's intake were born!!  |

Morrissey is such a favourite of mine. Me too. One of my favourite songs: Hand in glove The sun shines out of our behinds No, it's not like any other love This one is different - because it's us Hand in glove We can go wherever we please And everything depends upon How near you stand to me And if the people stare Then the people stare Oh, I really don't know and I really don't care |
