Ooh... dirty Maggie Mae
They have taken her away
And she never walk down Lime Street any mo-eh
Oh the judge he guilty found-'er
For robbing a homeward boundah
That dirty no good rrrobbin' Maggie Mae
To the port of Liverpouhl
They returned me to
Two pounds ten a week, that was my pay
Why? I have no idea 
I like rollin' R's...

Through my whole life I've been very influenced by the 60s music - I still believe that was the decade when all the best music was written. This may be because my mother always made me listen to musicians like the Monkees, Cliff Richard, Procol Harum, Ben E. King, the Animals... In short; loads of 60s music. But with one great exception: The Beatles. My mother never was a great Beatles fan, so naturally I never listened to it either.
Of course I could sing Yesterday and Yellow Submarine to perfection, but I never had a vivid memory of listening to the Beatles, except once in 3rd grade, when we had a replacement teacher who had nothing to do for a music lesson and a loads of albums, so he made us listen to Strawberry Fields Forever and told us all about the 'Paul is Dead' stories. Being quite young at the time, it only succeeded in freaking me out.
Then many years later, with another teacher I remember fondly, we had a school breakfast and he decided to put Black Bird on the player. I still can't taste baguettes with cheese without hearing his voice humming along to that sweet melody.
And now, or last week to be excact, I suddenly caught a few notes of Black Bird again somewhere, and I decided that now I shall go forth and explore the music of Beatles. And what a joy it is! I'm only 35 years too late anyway...
Strawberry Fields Forever, Help!, Black Bird, Yellow Submarine, A Hard Day's Night, I Want to Hold Your Hand, Eleanor Rigby, Norwegian Wood, Hey Jude, Let it Be, In My Life... I see now why the praise won't ever stop. She Loves You still makes me frown uneasily though, but I suspect that's only because I've heard so many lousy cover-versions...

I've just learned that Hot Chokolates' "You sexy thing" was a major hit just when I was born...
No wonder I turned out a bit weird!

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Posted Dec 18, 2002
Ooh, it's just like you can feel the Christmas spirit silently take over every mood, every feeling, every limb and every thought you can possibly concieve at this time of year 
I'm as delirious as a squirrel!
I'm trying to keep out all brands from Christmas (including Coca Cola...), and I'm proud as I now look around in our livingroom - not one brand name is to be seen, except from the old winebottle we use to decorate a bare table... 
Less than one week until Christmas...! I'm feeling like a 5 year-old again! When will we buy the Christmas tree, mum? 
We'll decorate it with the blue and silver balls, right? And we'll put the gifts under it on the 22nd as always? 
Yay for Christmas everyone!
