Just the sound of rain on my tarp ....and I'm back in Nam ,the rainy season ..the rice paddies ..Charlie whispering in the dark... Lt Bukowski whimpering bout missing home ....the cries of the wounded

I was gonna reply Max but I was going to say Paul Weller was writing great stuff when he was in his teens. No need for you to be so confrontational and bombastic in your posts. Basic manners

Who remembers years ago when the The Sun gave a monkey some paint and paper, they framed his daubs and set them up in a little gallery and then got a load of these poncy art critic types down there to

I was working in Munich and driving round the city I came across an old cinema that still had a massive 3rd Reich Eagle carved Into each of the two columns that made up the facade of the building......that connects you directly with history imho, I love stuff like that

I never listen to music and could go for the rest of my life without listening to music. 

I’m disappointed in hearing a Welshman say that Mate. 
 When I was a younger lad , lived in a smallish town in the south. It was a long old drag hone for a lot of us so we used to stay there at weekends . There was a core four who did , and we became best mates over time with living and working together almost daily for four years . 
there was me from Cumbria

a South African lad

a cockney boy who just could t face the m25 ???

abd a Welsh lad from port talbot who would start drinking at 5 on a Friday and finish at 2 on a Monday ??

as we’d walk hone from a night out he’d always sing one of two songs , you could tell his mood from the opening line it was either “and we we’re singing hymns and arias” or another one. 

anyway eventually we all drifted apart ad we do in life and we rarely see each other now. 
 

last year I was driving hone In the rain and I had radio two on. the Welsh gardener Fella who gives advice was chatting away and eventually as he touched on his goodbyes to the show he mentioned it was the anniversary of a Welsh mining disaster and jeremy vine extended the interview and pressed him further . The old boy eventually conceded he knew some of the lads killed and that he was one of the first in the scene . You could tell his emotion by his voice. As the interview concluded the strains of my pals Song started . 
 

after a verse or two , I pulled over into the hard shoulder and sat , I’m not ashamed to say I wept buckets at the mans tale but also I think I was crying for my friends in that nostalgic feeling you get when you know things will never be like that again . 
 

music has a funny effect on you like that.
