https://t.co/OdNYDVfEZ5 is exactly what I want out of a ‘fan’ website. It doesn’t post minor and pointless updates. Just very occasional updates when there’s actual news to report. It’s great.
Michael Chapman died today at the age of 80.
He was a part of that tremendous English folk scene of the 60s/70s and was a great musician.
RIP Michael.
(Here he is performing a wonderful version of “Among The Trees”.) https://t.co/sSAq3xmoSQ
And here’s the original album version of “No Woman, No Cry”. Which really proves that sometimes live versions of songs can be x10 better than the original. https://t.co/DOTSKBk8rL
I’m watching “Eric Clapton: Live in Hyde Park” (2001). He performs ‘Wonderful Tonight’ - one of his big hits - and about four members of the huge crowd gives a single fuck. I find this fascinating.

I still can’t quite believe what’s happening with /r/#wallstreetbets. It’s like finding out 4chan has cured cancer.
Pre-COVID it was the mentally challenged brother to /r/investing. Now they’re using meme stocks to financially beat hedge funds to death. https://t.co/nlN6U4bTeN
I’m sorry, but the ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ scheme still sounds like the name of a charity launched by unfulfilled lesbians.
I couldn’t help but laugh when I went into a restaurant and announced “I’m here to eat out and help out”.
#VanMorrison lived through The Troubles without saying a word. But now he decides to kick off! Old men be old men-ing.
And I’m seeing him in July at Kew Gardens :|

I’m playing a FPS game and it said “You have been assigned to the Latvian Empire based on skill.” I’m pretty sure the Latvians never had such a thing. I think I might be bad at this game :(
