Hard News: Public Address Word of the…, in reply to mark taslov,
I’ve not noticed 4714 to be much crazier than any other year,
Just the usual Monkey business...

we need a collective name.
One seismic fits all!

’Great!’
…as in Trump’s ‘Make America Great Again’
and infinite variations on his standard wheedle:
“I have a great company, great company, we do great things, many, many great things, we’re gonna make jobs, great jobs, many, many great jobs…”‘Great’ also manifests as ‘Tremendous’ and ‘Best’…

Hard News: Public Address Word of the…, in reply to JessicaRose,
I’m making a pattern with my suggestions
We are all of us on a quest for the golden meme
so that the whole is to the greater part
as that part is to the smaller part
looking for a certain ratio...
a proportion that is considered to be
particularly pleasing to the eye/ear.but I digress...

We have consensus reality!
I'll readjust my receptors accordingly...
…and I note a piece of Letraset© tone screen over the tape deck…
Remnants, artifacts, of now arcane technologies…… also a cracker lyric or band name going begging!
wailing bongo rings a bell

Hard News: Friday Music! Digging Doug, in reply to Simon Grigg,
...can’t remember
Me neither with 100% confidence, but the bits that stack up and resonate still scream Gluepot to my atrophying neurons...
The proportions, layout/aspect and scale trigger all my gluey Gluepot ganglions:
the silly wooden cage over the stage; the slats at the back; the slightly raised side strips on both sides; the window set up (with seldom seen views over Auckland); the curtains; the columns; the fire escape...
... The floor and ceiling I can not recall with any surety, and a smaller uncarpeted area strikes a muted thud of recollection, but m'lud 'may be leading the witness' and I've seen too many of these rooms, too fast, too long ago. I faintly recall one part was easier to roll stuff on than others - and I can't imagine them not having a reasonable dancefloor in that set up, there was a lot of room still behind the wooded area, narrowing back to the entrance - I remember the side fire/exit well - it came out by the police station or thereabouts at back of pub.
But pub / hall design was pretty similar all over NZ then-abouts, so who knows - it may just remain a quantum mystery where we know the time (approximately) and can deduce the speed (relative to galactic centre) but not the position in space...
- the past is a wave with no particle place to be... -
