I confess that altruistic and cynically selfish talk seem to me about equally unreal. With all humility, I think 'whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might,' infinitely more important than the vain attempt to love one's neighbour as one's self. If you want to hit a bird on the wing you must have all your will in focus, you must not be thinking about yourself, and equally, you must not be thinking about your neighbour; you must be living with your eye on that bird. Every achievement is a bird on the wing.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
One of my all time favourites too Zodiac but - although not a beauty queen I did find the love of my life and have enjoyed 30 years with him! So - those of us with ravaged faces and lacking in the social graces don't always have to invent lovers on the phone!
I adore all of Janis Ian's songs - specially Jesse.
I'm not a Tom Jones fan in any sense of the word - but I was drawn to this clip whilst browsing. I am just astonished how the audience surround him - dancing in an almost orderly fashion - as he sings about murdering his girlfriend.
I remember listening to this on my sister's old reel to reel over and over again when I was about nine or ten. We used to tape the 'hit parade' from the radio but got all sorts of other stuff on the tape from whatever was also going on in room at the time.
This is my Granddad singing - called Rock Ankan, which means The Rock Duck. I recently put it up on youtube for him and designed the logo. he'll be thrilled when he finds out!
