In 1959 BERTRAND RUSSELL — born 154yrs ago today — was asked what message he would most like to pass on to future generations.
His answer resonates even more strongly nearly 70yrs on.
@batcountry1980@danceyrselfdean Agree. Stones’ version took them to a whole new level with Brian Jones’s searing slide guitar at a time when most of didn’t even know what slide guitar was. Beatles’ version of their own song is hilariously bad.
Faces - Debris
Plonk’s heartfelt tribute to his dad, glancing back at a parent’s sacrifice. Musically gorgeous, and deeply affecting. One of the truly great bands. They really had the lot.
1971.
Just found out that A Tale of Two Cities was originally serialised in two local newspapers.
It was The Bicester Times, it was the Worcester Times.
Morning you lovely people!
Neil Young - Revolution Blues
A nightmarish slide into Manson’s skin. On the edge, armed to the teeth, and repulsed at Hollywood elitism; Young barrelling ‘round Laurel Canyon, eating up the rich.
1974.
Crosby, Stills & Nash 🎩🪄 Southern Cross
Live on The Tonight Show, 1987.
Silky harmonies, ocean-breeze guitars, and that slow-build chorus.
Still sounds timeless in 2026, like a compass that never quits pointing true.🧭
