Hi Eric,

By coincidence, I, too, was thinking later about the shot in terms of 'prison' rather than graveyards. Not of the mind, though I do see your source - but of breasts: that sort of sharp, rigid neckline seems so anti-feminine! But then, I have noticed something similar with women at weddings, at least, at the ones I sometimes had to present myself years ago: in efforts to look formal, smart and possibly wedded to the right guy, there used to be a proclivity for wearing suits that looked as it they had been constructed (the suits, not the women) from sofa materials. I wonder why? Come to think of it, maybe it did make the women, too, look like sofas were part of their build.

I fully understand why youth rebels against this choke-hold on spirit. The hell with the girdle! Save the whales!

As with Hadleyville, I think you'd have to google it.

Rob,
Is that one breasts, or is it "Gladly, the Cross-eyed Bear?"

Eric, don't be lazy: google it (them)!

Ms. Bing tells me that 55-59 Old Compton Street is Ho Vietnamese Restaurant.  ?

Ah, history and the contemporary vandalism thereof!

It used to be the 2i's Coffee Bar, the London 'Cavern', as it were, many years before the Liverpudlian's existed as placenta to musical symbols.

Many of Britain's great musos made their debut there; probably unknown, most of them, outside Britain, but it was all we had apart from Radio Luxembourg on 208m medium wave, and AFN coming across from the US Forces network in Germany (Good Morning Vietnam! with a different location base but probably identical agenda) - both, for us, dependent on good atmospherics. First time I heard R 'n' B was on AFN... so no musical colour prejudice there, at least.

As for Hadleyville, NM, think Gary Cooper...

Thanks, Rob.

Gary Cooper is somebody I have heard of. (Hmmm. Was he one of my classmates?)

Tell Me a Story, Father

Sometimes, out amongst the red rock, you begin to see figures that once may have been alive. Or perhaps you're just hallucinating! It's easy to see how the ancients may have worshipped these stones, especially as the light changes.

Nice one!

Um, I dont think so, Eric; he was probably a close personal friend of your parents, but it's hard to be sure: he had one of those personalities that was so difficult to pin down: he used to disguise himself as Randolph Scott now and again, so well that I could seldom spot the join. And that was pre-Photopshop! Come to think of it, which identical twin has the Toni? Which Gary is really Randolph?

And so runs Saturday, much to the distress of some.

I was in Hannover for the long weekend. Interestingly, the 5th of May is Ascension in France, whereas in Germany it's Father's Day, or more precisely "Load a hand-cart with alcohol and go drink it in a public place day."

Friday was a bit calmer.

Funny; I'd remembered it as Oh! Calcutta! at first, but maybe the period really was a bit mixed up for some of us.

Chips.

I mostly abide by the commandment to refrain from feeding them, but I am usually happy when someone else does.

Me, too. This is very nice. Would have fit just as well in the abstracts thread.

Thank you, Francois and Arlen,

To an extent, I agree, but my feelings about that thread are now a bit different to what they used to be: I think it has departed from abstraction -as I believe that I understood it - and moved into a sort of programmed/mechanical version with which I have no empathy. Regardless, as long as somebody enjoys the stuff, either this, that or the other - fair enough in all ways: no rules.

Very English, Bill, with a distinctly painterly, watercolour quality about it.
