It’s excellent. I bought it on vinyl when I was 16 and on CD a few years ago. My favourite CSN&Y release, closely followed by 4 Way Street.
More than occasionally Grumpy Old Progger. Despiser of corrupt government.

Right. That sounds okay, can’t say I’m a Muse fan really. I’m travelling down to The 1865 (from Lancashire) at the end of February to see Big Big Train’s Cruise To The Edge warm up gig. Looking forward to that. Heard it’s a good venue.

Saw them live some years ago at HRH Prog. Also have a couple of their tracks on Prog magazine samplers. Never heard a full album though. I’ll have to remedy that.

I always considered these to be two halves of a double album. I was extremely pleased when I found this release. Jethro Tull Heavy Horses/Songs From The Wood

If Trump dies MAGA dies. They won’t follow Vance in the same way. Maybe, just maybe, that will take some of the wind out of Farage’s sails. As for Labour, I’ve never voted for anyone else since the 70s. I’m seriously considering voting Lib Dem next time. Starmer has badly let me down.

If Trump dies his body could be buried at sea. It’s easy to arrange, just get it fired into space by Elon Musk.

Yes, especially when it’s the con artist who is telling them. Exactly the same here in the UK with Farage.

I didn’t. It makes sense though. I would have thought Sgt. Pepper would have had a part in that, if I were to guess.

Almost peed myself. Funniest thing I’ve seen in a while.
Paul Nelson (@oldprogger.bsky.social) reply parent
It is. The album goes out with an amazing acceleration and then puts you down gently with Her Majesty.

Yes thank you, although, if I hadn’t changed doctors I would have died. I had been complaining for a year. A change of address and a new surgery and I was diagnosed within a week . By that time I was late stage 3C bowel cancer. I was 52 and would have been dead by 53. I’m 66 now.

The uncertainty is the worst. I say that as a former cancer patient. I hope your tests show that it’s something much more benign. Post diagnosis at least gives you either instant relief or a strategy for dealing with whatever shows up. Wishing you well.
Paul Nelson (@oldprogger.bsky.social) reply parent
I agree, his departure was a great loss to Genesis musically. Had he not gone, the likelihood is that his solo output would have, at the very least, been diminished and his personal development stunted or restrained. We would, in all likelihood, never have heard so many fantastic albums.

Tenants will end up paying it through increased rents. It’s about as sensible as Trump’s tariffs. Instead of Labour making life more secure for renters they are putting their security in danger.

When my daughter was a child she decided to treat me and my (ex)wife to a brew in bed. She didn’t know whether we wanted tea or coffee, so she made both in the same cups. She then insisted on standing and watching us enjoy it. Luckily our acting skills were convincing enough. It was awful.
