well, nothing wrong with being full of the Christmas spirits…

but I was complaining about the treatment of Alan Turing…

and of the 49,000 other gays who were convicted merely for being gay..those were bad days before 1967.

Gordon Brown did apologise back in 2006 for the appalling way in which Turing had been treated, but this govt. refused…[Read more]

The f3 crowd on the Final Day wake up from their graves and get ready to sing Don’t They Know It’s Christmas?

hitting the drink a bit early, aren’t you, cosy?

What a tasteful selection!!

And don’t forget Sir Cliff Richard, as we’re on this level..there is a belief that he’ll bring a new one out every Christmas until the Final Day, when all the dead will rise to sing Don’t They Know It’s Christmas in a unique chorus, accompanied by the Ray Conniff Singers and the James Last Ensemble

ha ha

they’re both equally soppy

or my favourite

Yes, a Merry Christmas to this community of oddbods on f3 and the boards over the year..I’ve quite liked some of them, though we’ve never met…

Also a very Merry Christmas to Claire-Wales, in (self-imposed) exile on f1..

as a send off to certy, knowing his liking for harmony and the whip

see ya next year hopefully, then, certy

I don’t deny that cage influenced many people and the skill is in the idea as martin says…but i guess it comes down to what do we really want from art?

Are we happy to just tap our feet and dance to the music released today or do we need to know about harmony and counterpoint to appreciate Bach.

Art to most..be it…

Maybe…

I remember anc claiming her inevitable victory, on the grounds that she was a woman, and women always have the last say…

You trying to have the last word, Martin??

stiff competition

Nobody’s trying to control your laughter or your liking for music – well, I’m not (can’t say the same for everybody, some people can be pretty totalitarian when it comes to music and laughter, as to debate).

Actually, I’m not a fan of the piece (honest), or of Cage’s direction afterwards. I do like his Music for a Toy Piano, but again not a big…[Read more]

a computer can lose important files in any number of ways..the viruses such at these are always well ahead of the counter-viruses. No sooner is a new protection worked out than the crooks have developed new viruses..the crooks are well ahead of the game.

it’s not a compliment..personality is provisional and beyond our control..’I am a book I neither wrote nor read’

Why did you laugh at the audience who applauded Cage’s 4’33??

If I were there I would have applauded…

the whole point of 4’33 is to be in the actual audience, following each movement. Watchng it from the outside, and watching it…[Read more]

No, it’s good..take it from the model of normal sanity – me!!!

well, Mr Cert, I can identify with being sick – with a flu in my case.

But have you thought that the police breaking down a door might have something to do with a stick of wood taking its revenge?? We all have to be as careful as me in not upsetting people, animals AND things.

The bucket sounds a bit odd..not sure what to comment on there.

But…[Read more]
