Radio personality. Hey, someone's got to do it!

Global problems.

@MayorWayneBrown I'd rather the Mayor focused his time on solving Auckland's problems (of which there are many), than being the host of a YouTube series.
I doubt I'd be alone in that.

[Dave White @davewhitenz]

This is pretty good.

Recruits now clearly need to pass a dance audition.

NZ Citizen: Hello, is this 111? My house has been robbed can you send help?

111: I'm sorry all our police a busy right now. We can send someone around in 4 or 5 days.

The"grandmother" in this case is a man. In an investigation such as this (biological) facts matter. https://t.co/yJa8H9inkm

Hey @AklTransport, need to generate revenue ? How about pinging cyclists who crash the red light in their cycle lane on Quay St, almost taking out crossing pedestrians with the right of way. Take it from me you'll make a bloody fortune.

If Pizza Hut can return, then we can resurrect Blockbuster.

And we should.

While Netflix made things more “convenient” we lost something irreplaceable:

The ritual of going to a place with your family or friends to choose a story together.

That experience was special.

What it feels like gassing up these days.

@NYCMayor You want every New Yorker to be zafe, except the city's police officers, right?! I mean, 27 year olds (crims) will be kids. Just having fun.
How is it possible to be on the wrong side of just about every issue.

An update of a movie classic.

How good is this ..... I've been a fan since the Ardijah days. More years ago than I'd care to admit.

A great and accurate take on today's music.

[Zarathustra @zarathustra5150]

Watching older live performances is a stark reminder of how much the bare minimum floor for “professional musician” has collapsed over the last decade or two.

Chris Cornell famously said: “A true musician should be able to walk into a room with nothing but an instrument and capture people's attention for two hours”. No more.

Today, a startling share, probably a majority, of popular acts not only can’t play a single instrument, have no music theory knowledge whatsoever and can’t write their own songs, they quite literally cannot even sing(!) anymore, and have to lip-sync to pre-recorded, overdubbed, auto-tuned backing tracks to survive a “live” set. Using canned backing tracks and lip syncing was considered a scandalous, discrediting, career-ending mark of shame and dishonor in previous musical eras.

A live concert series like MTV Unplugged of the 1990’s could not exist today. Too many popular acts simply couldn’t do it.

Crosby, Stills & Nash, 1970; just three guys with nothing but an acoustic guitar:

@Michael96303310 Well done. This may be the best one yet.
Enjoy the week ahead.

@tauhenare So, don't vote for Labour because they genuinely have plan, but vote for them to unseat the incumbent govt.? That's the problem with NZ politics, we don't vote govts in, we vote them out.
The voting public is poorly served by all sides of the spectrum.
Voters deserve much better.
