It's a lot of bollocks.
I've already seen my guff, complete with spelling errors, pop up.

Shall I mourn your decline with some Thunderbird wine and a black hankerchief?

Gene Vincent, who died on this day in 1971,
was in the city, in 1960, to play a week at the Glasgow Empire with fellow US rocker Eddie Cochran, and had taken his gammy leg for a hirple up to the Royal Infirmary.

Went into it as a cynic, but Rob Brydon's Country music series on BBC2 is a joy.

I came late to Country, finding a Readers Digest, four LP set of Johnny Cash in a flat I moved into.

There was also a drinks cabinet full of obscure liqueurs. That got messy...

Once met an old boy in Arodamos, who could sing I Belong to Glasgow, and The Northern Lights of Old Aberdeen. He'd spent two years hiding out in a cave with Jocks. He still had his Lee Enfield rifle.

Meet me on the corner,
When the lights are coming on,
And I'll be there.
I promise I'll be there.
Down the empty streets,
We'll disappear into the dawn,
If you have dreams enough to share...

Pinkston Power Station, and its cooling pond, 1950s.

We're back at Glasgow Cross today, only, now, architect J. J. Burnet's beautiful, pepper pot, station has arrived.

Sadly, as the station grew busier, Burnet's beauty was demolished and replaced by a more utilitarian building.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted.
