#MDANT🎖️🤩 Old, aching and wobbly. A good sit down with any of: a nice cup of tea, a Kit Kat, a beer, or a single malt whisky. And some David Bowie.

Kubrick's ‘The Shining’ and ‘The Muppet Show’ were filming next door to each other at Elstree Studios, and that’s how Danny Lloyd got to visit and hang with Kermit in 1979.

Great video. Memories of going to several bloody loud Sugar gigs from that era. God bless Bob.

Sadly I’ve also had to do another mute/block blitz lately - folk quoting too much crap from the old place. US politics in particular. I left there for a reason.

It’s a shame they now only play live 2 or 3 times a year. Wojtek remains a force of nature on stage! 🕺🏼

My favourite live band. Ive seen them 20+ times over the years including supporting REM’s Green tour at Portsmouth. And they are still flying high!

I’m here for the jolly bespectacled dinosaurs in bomber jackets.

Happy Ryu, a jolly dinosaur, is the mascot for Fukui Prefecture, where dinosaur bones were discovered and which often gets voted the happiest place in the country.

I’ve visited 6 including the Great Pyramid. You may only be missing a waterfall - Niagara or Iguazu?

If you get a chance to see the Patti Smith 50th anniversary of Horses show just go. Absolutely magical night: no light show, no backdrop, no stacks of amps, just five phenomenal musicians and one of the greatest records of all time

Monday morning. A slow start with a mug of strong tea. ☕️

Misty outside and foggy in my brain so something appropriate from Mr Eno.

Now playing. The mighty BoS 🔥

‘It's ninety cents
And you can ride all day
All those New Jersey kids coming into clubs
They don't know what they're missing
While they're driving around
We're two miles underground
Stuck in a tunnel near 56th’
