There's a tragedy in every death. The recent demise of the bassist from Slipknot is no exception. But I really have just read a eulogy for the man that mourns "It's a devastating loss. Paul was a wonderful human being... Their extreme stage antics extended to violence against each other and throwing bodily waste."
I spent all day yesterday contributing to a comedy show for BBC Radio 4. This involved playing the guitar along with two songs - that old socialist favourite 'The Red Flag' and 'Ten Fat Sausages Sizzling In A Pan' . Maybe there's an idea there for a concept album of political songs for children.
A journalist friend has just told me that the Americans are having a hard time in Afghanistan differentiating between the local Afghan soldiers and the Taliban they are all fighting, so they've given them luminous green cycle bands to wear over their shoulders so the Americans know not to shoot them. Unfortunately this has also made them very visible to the Taliban snipers... Maybe it would be better if they all just threw bodily waste at each other.

Great to have your blogs to read again Lenny,
I've been laughing out load for the last half hour (I'm a slow reader!)
Looking forward to the new album too
Catch you later mate!
HAL (that must send a shiver up your spine!)
Lenny so good to hear you're back after the 'wilderness years'! I've been missing the music, the humour, the insights - all your wise words that light up my dark days.
Great to have you back!
An admirer (but sorry I'm not the nameless girl - have you got her photo!?)
