I saw Lou Reed in early 74.

I’m sure I’m not alone in having seen some pretty vicious fighting in the street, or in the pub…you care then, if only to avoid getting caught up in it.

The fights here are just pffft…

God, imagine lying peacefully, soaking naked in the bath, relaxing after a hard day, letting your cares drift away

when suddenly you see one of those f*ckers, half covered in soap suds, advancing towards you!

Worse, imagine it advancing pretty quickly!!

Sounds technical, abstruse?

I can’t imagine it happening, but if no deal is reached by Weds I’m going to be officially worried.

It sounds technical – it’s about lifting the US debt ceiling – but believe me, it could get very dangerous for us all in different ways.

But I really can’t imagine the nutters in America being able to pull us all down by bringing the house down on…[Read more]
