Eric Clapton rated their first album so highly he left Cream and flew to Canada to try to convince them to allow him into the band!
Seriously, just listen to The Band. One of the most underrated bands of all time.
Also, he just loves music. He lived with Martin Scorsese and drove him mad. He would listen to music 24/7.
I’ve never seen someone visibly enjoy his music as much as Robbie Robertson. His songs are as much for him as us.

Currently there’s a large piece of cocaine hanging off Neil Young’s nose and he’s doing the best ever version of “Helpless”. Beautiful.
Watching “The Last Waltz”. One of the greatest concerts of all time.
So much drugs went down at that gig. I don’t know how they sung.
Talking of Alan Turing. Here’s a petition to get him on £10 notes: http://t.co/jKBxlxF2

My internet’s finally fixed and I’m a little overwhelmed . Like my dog loose in Pets at Home.
Wireless technology astounds me EVERY SINGLE DAY. It is a marvel.
Ignoring those stupidly high socks, baseball players look great. Very smart. Football kits look classless and tacky in comparison.
Also, how did people ever watch Hockey on TV before HD?! Hard enough seeing the puck on a massive screen in HD.
Main issue is boredom. In baseball and NFL rarely anything happens. On the other hand, Hockey is just too frantic.
Attempting to watch some American sports. Hockey and NFL are not for me. Baseball’s only at ‘Spring training’ I and haven’t been impressed.
The home button on my iPhone is so stiff now that I have a constant bruised thumb.
Jacob: Oh, ok. In that case, you’ve got no right to wear New Balance sneakers, ever.

A relevant quote from “Crazy, Stupid, Love”:
Jacob: Are you the billionaire owner of Apple Computers?
Cal: No.

Thought Steve Jobs would make them cool. But they only seem to be cool amoung geeks.
Only issue: they’re just not cool :(
Everytime I wear non New Balance shoes I’m reminded how great they are. Thought I’d be alright with Adidas, but no. Blister after 3 miles.
RE last RT: don’t count on the government for a happy retirement. Sort out your finances and save 5-10% of your income towards retirement.
My day summed up by Peter from the movie Office Space: “I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything that I thought it would be.”
I wish there was an iOS App which counted each time I launched an App so I could work out which ones deserve a place on the homescreen.
I really do not have the energy to follow or care about politics.
Visited my Nan, read my magazines (Port and Monocle), walked more, finished @BumperGraham’s awesome Barca book. Also more Age of Empires II!
At least I’m getting stuff done with it down. If I’m honest I’m pretty sure I’d be a much awesomer person without the Internet.
Internet’s been down for 3 days. Feels like the blitz. Even playing board games. Hurry up and fix it please @virginmedia. Area code HP2/HP3.
Why is it so hard to find slippers that last more than 6 months?! #FirstWorldProblem
Waking up after too little sleep really is a unique pain. There is no similar type of suffering out there.
Embrace all stimuli.
