Songs To Screw With Your Mind at 3am

Whilst in LA recently and whilst actually venturing on Ventura Highway heading to Santa Barbara I was reminded of the "America" classic "Ventura Highway". Frankly once the song gets in your head its very very hard to get it back out - it can take days and in my case weeks. This then led me to thinking about another song that whenever I hear the word "Wildfire" I am reminded of this song which lurks in the recesses of my mind ready to pounce at any moment. Frankly they are both good tunes but bugger me if at 3am in the morning they don't come a callin. Oh and you will be surprised, especially since now I have suggested it, how many times you will hear the word "Wildfire" mentioned in the course of the next few weeks. Damn that lost fucken horse is what you will be thinking, as do I.

So here they are - to screw with your mind at 3am! Go on you know you want to!

Under The Blue Moon Festival - Yes I'm On Again

It's that time of the year again, when all things dark and alternative are celebrated in my town of Enmore. This year the festival is being held on Halloween, Saturday 31st October. I am of course doing a lecture at the usual venue of Simplicity Funerals in Enmore Road, Enmore with a start time of 2:15pm. Of course my theme follows on from the past few years with this year being titled "Sydney's Original Gangsters" I am growing more excited as the festival approaches and I hope some of you can come along and enjoy the day. I will put up another reminder as the date draws closer but it is truly a fun day out for the whole "alternative" family. Check out the website it is packed with lots of different and unusual things to do over the course of the festival. If you are looking for my lecture details just click on "Funeral Parlour Lectures".

The Colonial Would Be Turning In His Grave

Seriously I can't believe Kentucky Fried Chicken - Grilled Chicken!!! - Give me a break will you. Oh and no I refuse to call it KFC, it is now and will always be Kentucky Fried Chicken. I am shocked and appalled at this hate crime by people who want everyone to be as fabulously healthy as they are. Marketing guru's with pony tails and Porsche cars and 28" waists have dreamt up this bad idea. Well fuck you sunshine when I go to Kentucky I want fat dripping off the side of my mouth, I want it dripping down my fingers, I want it dripping down my arm and then dripping onto my clothes. I want it finger licken for fucks sake. I certainly do not want to be confronted with "grilled chicken" in any form, frankly if I wanted a healthy choice I would have stayed at home and eaten last nights left overs - pizza. I mean what with the Colonial with his jolly smile and toggle tie complete with white apron I mean to do you think he was conjuring up a nice piece of grilled chicken when he invented "Kentucky "Fried" Chicken" - "oh yes" he must have thought to himself "that will sell" No he didn't he wanted the world to enjoy the fabulous taste of fried food and die loving it. Hang your heads in collective shame Saunders descendants because hell has taken on a new form - "Grilled Chicken"

Note to marketing guru: The only healthy "alternative" I want from Kentucky is fried salad of some form, perhaps potato - or you could try frying up one of those tasty buns - now there is an idea.

Greg Norman "The Shark" Get's Divorced!

Oh and they said it wouldn't last. I only have one comment on this ill fated "affair" even though I have no relationship with the parties involved, obviously or I would be rich. I certainly know all there is to know about the divorce game. Frankly as unwise friend recently had tattooed on his back "What goes around comes around" In this instance he could not have been more prophetic or further from the the truth.
