'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'
'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.
'I don't much care where-' said Alice.
'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.

Don't Give Up



Listening to this Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel track got me thinking about "our current economic climate" haha- who else is sick of hearing this phrase, I keep finding myself saying it!

Sure enough, Gabriel wrote it about unemployment during Thatcher's 80's.

So, If The Recession Made Albums.......

Michael Forever

So, rumours arose this week that MJ will be performing 30 shows at the o2 Arena in July! Oh my actual God!

I'm not completely deluded- I know things have changed- his moves won't be the same and he will inevitably be lip-syncing. But in all honesty I don't give a fig. Just to see him on stage again will be amazing- he's a sight to behold on stage- like a little space alien who you can't take your eyes off. And to be in a room full of similarly deluded fans will be ace.

I saw him at Wembley Stadium in 1997- when I was 14. It wasn't very cool to like him back then, especially at the age of 14 when everyone else in school was getting into britpop- grrr! I remember clapping eyes on a popular girl in the year above- on recognising each other we gave a mutual nod of agreement- "I won't tell, if you don't".

Anyway, off we trotted- my dad, my uncle hugh, lynnie and lauren. I will never forget Lynnie clapping her hands off in excitement- she had until then not been overly enamoured with MJ, but came back a total convert. I also remember thinking how cool it was that my dad let her have a beer! Lauren, love her, got overcome with emotion and let out a little yelp- "Michael, I love you". It would have been much more effective if we werent 2 football stadiums away from him!

Anyway, thought I would share my favourite live MJ performances....
