Soul Food

Seriously...music saved my life tonight.

Well, OK, not quite. My life hasn't particularly been at risk tonight or any other night. Maybe it would be more accurate to say music saved my soul tonight. And by tonight I actually mean this afternoon but that lacks the impact I am trying to convey. I have decided that when I die I want music piped directly into my coffin. Or to be buried with an MP3 player or the equivalent permanently inserted into my ears with lifelong (or even deathlong) batteries which, by the way, I don't intend to die until they've invented. So cremation is now out of the question.

Just spent a lovely couple of hours listening to music with my son. I love his passion for music and of the 55.000.000 plus views of 'Stairway to Heaven' he thinks 25.000.000 views are his. We have enjoyed Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jimi Henrdrix, Arertha and Tom Jones. We have marvelled at Sippie Wallace and Bonnie Raitt (although he thinks a ginger female playing blues on a guitar is 'just not right', he wants all his blues musicians black and male). Check out Bonnie jamming with John Lee Hooker . We finished it off with Gilmour and Bowie performing 'Comfortably Numb'. Bliss.

Enjoy.

Now...tell me your soul doesn't feel a hella of a lot better than it did before.
