@mjohnharrison Bloody hell, Mike. Makes me eyes hurt just to think of it. It seems to me you should have them made into some kind of huge commemorative sculpture which should rightfully be paid for by an optometrist.
@becstar70 Bec, I think that’s “What I do have is a very particular set of skills…skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.” (Delivered in a debonair Irish/British accent.)
Writing a novel is an act of love. Love of ideas, love of the magical exchange between author and reader, love of intelligence and human thought. Violence in response to a work of fiction is unforgivable. I send love and deepest respect to @SalmanRushdie. #FreedomOfSpeech
It is with immense sadness that I note that musical visionary Jon Hassell has left the world. A gifted trumpeter, progenitor of Fourth World Music, and conjurer of staggeringly beautiful sonic tableaux. Farewell, Jon, and thank you so very much. #jonhassell#fourthworld#music
@MrStevenRaeburn Oboy. Harrison said he’d be too old to play the role after “The Last Crusade”...I agree he looks great for a 79-year-old, but Indiana can’t age...and CGI? No, please, no.

Very happy to have written this piece for @ConversationEDU on Peter Weir’s magnificent #Gallipoli, still a staggering, poetic powerhouse 40 years after its release. One of the most stunning of all Australian films. #PeterWeir @HCAFlinders https://t.co/XOE91jMruT

@mjohnharrison (2/2) rorts, denial of reality, and merciless exploitation of those trying to work and educate themselves would be something to be ashamed of. The dominant governments ATM define corruption and lack of accountability. We must SCREAM from the rooftops. #auspol#PoliticalCorruption
@mjohnharrison I’ve been trying to do this on the other side of the globe for almost 20 years. I teach Creative Arts, and am often told my lectures are “shamelessly political”. Absolutely correct. NOT to call attention to the pervasive corruption, duplicity, condescension, (1/2)
