For a horrible moment during our walk along Inch Beach here in Ireland, I thought the plane was going to hit the moon. Luckily, it just missed… 🌑✈️

Impressive indeed 👍

Apple Music is having a laugh with all its Pink Floyd albums… 🤣🤣🤣 #PinkFloyd #AppleMusic

Sad to hear of the passing of Rick Davies from the band Supertramp. Breakfast In America was a key part of my musical upbringing. RIP. 💔 #Supertramp #RickDavies

Many in the US think that people are the problem, not the guns. But they’re OK with giving the problem easy access to guns… 🤦‍♂️ #GunControlNow #USA #USALogic

Undoubtedly one of Australia’s most iconic treasures, the Green Gorilla at Bathurst… 🙃🦍🇦🇺 #Australia #Bathurst

My new commissioned art piece has began, with the somewhat tricky initial location outline now complete… #RichardFooteArt #CanberraArt #CBR #NewYork

Matt Stone and Trey Parker, well done indeed… 🤣🤣🤣 #Trump #SouthPark

I’ve been fully retired now for 2 years and it has truly been fantastic, I highly recommend it 🙃. Of course, I’ve been as busy as ever, but focusing purely on just the fun stuff.

My selections for the Triple J Hottest 100 Hotest Songs. Unfortunately my No 1 Nick Cave song (The Mercy Seat) was unavailable for selection, but these all songs feature prominently on my playlists… 🎶

I know it’s meant to be satirical, but there’s definitely a sense of truth to this… 🤷‍♂️

The US president also accused Iran of not having a Trump Tower in Tehran, which he says is a sign that they don't take peace negotiations seriously.

Finally finished my latest art piece that I started in early April. Not sure whether to call it “False Trails” or simply “Blue” as many people that saw it progress said “Oooo, that’s blue”… 🙃 #RichardFooteArt #CanberraArt #CBR #Art

It was indeed, it was indeed, with the VERY best people arriving on planet Earth… 🙃

Thank you, yes I’m feeling rather good indeed, being “old” isn’t as bad as it’s made out to be. I saw the recent pic of Liz, she looked amazing and gives us all hope. Hope all is well with you.

I’m sorry Midjourney, but infringing copyright is infringing copyright. Copying the art of others is not art but the exact opposite… 🤷‍♂️

Richard Foote @rfoote.bsky.social · Jun 12

I’m sitting here with just a few hours left of my 50’s and I’m feeling rather good about things and all the exciting adventures to come… 🍾

There are very few that are truly legends in the world of music, but Brian Wilson was surely one of them. Today was the perfect day to listen to the brilliant Pet Sounds and this cover by David Bowie #BrianWilson #BeachBoys : www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xnu6...

The man-babies that are Trump and Musk deserve all the hatred they throw at each other. Hopefully, they’ll damage each other irrevocably… 🙏 #Trump #Musk #TrumpVsMusk

Currently listening to the 2024 5.1 surround sound mix of this classic by Porcupine Tree, “Fear of a Blank Planet”. Just brilliant. #PorcupineTree

So Crystal Palace winning the FA Cup means Brighton failed to qualify for Europe. It just gets better and better… ⚽️ #CPFC

MAGA boycotting Harvard means that applicants will reduce by approximately 3 in the coming year… 🤦‍♂️ #MAGAMorons

Richard Foote @rfoote.bsky.social · May 18

It was a truly surreal experience. We played so well, our defence was immense and we actually, finally won the damn thing. And now, for the first time ever, onto Europe we tread. Amazing!!!

Richard Foote @rfoote.bsky.social · May 18

I STILL can’t believe Crystal Palace at long long last, after all these many many years, actually won the bloody FA Cup and will be playing in Europe next year!!! Don’t anybody pinch me, just don’t. ⚽️ #CPFC #CrystalPalace #FACup
