  • Hard News: The God Thing,

    No takers on sting theory here...

    Years ago, as a small child, I was convinced, although nobody had told me that this was the case, that our local butcher was God. Sounds like a joke but I think the belief came from a children's bible my grandmother gave me which had lots of pictures in it. One of the guys had a pretty significant beard and so did my butcher. You see he used to give me saveloys for free. (I am sure different people will draw very different conclusions from that wee anecdote.) He seemed like a really nice person from my POV as someone who was scared of almost everything and everyone.

    The whole religion thing has never excited me personally, but if others feel it helps them be a better person, in ways generally agreed upon by me of course, then all power to them.

  • What do you want them to play at your funeral?,

    Someone mentioned Simply Red before..."If you don't know me by now...you will never never know me..." seems appropriate.

    Or Talking Heads - Road to Nowhere

    or perhaps finally Mothership Connect by Funkadelic

    and as Noam Chomsky is my idol and none of my friends listen to him.Captive audience ahhhhh.
