Bird freed.

I absolutely love the music of Lynyrd Skynyrd, the number of times I've played Simple Man is uncountable and so is the number of times I danced to Sweet Home Alabama, their music was and is powerful but it was ambiguous as well.

Ronnie van Zant was not directly a racist but his music and lyrics skirted damn close to some very difficult viewpoints sometimes, I'm willing, posthumously to give him the benefit of the doubt "The Ballad of Curtis Loew" for example was and is a great song.

The current Skynyrd became far more tradionally southern conservative after his death and until this day.

Regards Musk and Twitter, freedom to hate is not ok and that is what Musk will unleash on world politics.

I admire SpaceX and what it has acheived, and it's goal, humanity absolutely has to become a multi planetary species otherwise the first big rock in 65 million years ends us and I admire what Musk is doing with Tesla up to a point, we have to get off oil for transport and transport is the hardest of the energy problems.

But right now the man is being a **** the US is about to become an autocracy the same as Russia we are a couple of years away from that happening but the movement towards it will happen in the next couple of weeks.

The bird is about to die.

Knebworth June 1978 was my only one

Genesis, Brand X, Jefferson Starship and Tom Petty, Starship and Petty were absolutely brilliant and I enjoyed Genesis too I was there primarily for Genesis and they were good but their music from that period has not stood the test of time to my mind.

Me I don't have a Twitter account and never will, that would be one account too far I still resent having to have a Facebook account.

I wish I had seen Alex Harvey, I used to work in Arnotts (department store House of Frazer) in Paisley while I was still at school and my boss Phil, his surname escapes me just now, used to play keyboards for Harvey, but left just before Harvey formed SAHB, I remember one day Zal Cleminson walking into the garden centre dept where I worked and him and Phil in conversation, that was around 1975. Phil was a phenomenal pianist god knows why he was working as the manager of a garden centre.

One of the few Scottish men ever to sing in his native accent, Glaswegian

I share my birthday with Alex, he passed too soon the day before his 47th

Ah I remember now my boss Phil played for Tear Gas, presumably before Hugh McKenna, still can't remember Phil's surname that's senility creeping in.

I see Jim Kerr in that first vid, I saw him totally out of his head fronting Simple Minds at the Glasgow QM Union (Glasgow Uni Queen Margaret Union) great concert, great event.

Alex was special.

And that is the only version of Delilah that I like he made it brilliant!

And yeah the Apollo was a fantastic venue.

I did open an account once, a few years past. Only to look for somebody.
It didn't work as intended or planned, so I never used it again.
TBH, I did realise lately. through other media sources, that it is used mainly by sad people with no real life to stifle real; open debate and exchange of opinions.
And this kind of people are of such a gargantuan arrogance and low intellect that do not appreciate diverging opinions from their own.

I will keep FB, if only to post pictures what I ate yesterday, where I have been, the odd mickey take and mainly keep in touch with friends and family around the world. The face-to-face video is much better than zoom and the sound clearer.
