That kid is a genius.

To do such an accurate impersonation of Trump at that age is just amazing.

You should absolutely be picky. Pedantry is always best, and correcting people is always a kindness.

I would rather
eat Quavers that are six week’s stale,
blow dry the hair of Gareth Bale,
listen to the songs of Jimmy Nail,
than read one page of the Daily Mail.

If I were bored
in a waiting room in Perivale,
on a twelve hour trip on British rail
or a world circumnavigational sail,
I would not read the Daily Mail.

I would happily read
the complete works of Peter Mayle,
the autobiography of Dan Quayle,
selected scripts from Emmerdale,
but I couldn’t ever read the Daily Mail.

Far better to
stand outside in a storm of hail,
be blown out to sea in a powerful gale
then swallowed by a humpback whale
than have to read the Daily Mail.

Even if
I were blind
and it was the only thing
in Braille,
I still would not read
the Daily Mail.

I don’t agree fully…
Part of the problem in performing original songs is the audience feedback. You can be a mediocre band doing covers and the audience will love it because of familiarity and their own attachment to the songs. Being a brilliant band doing originals takes some time for the audience to warm to the song.. great songs are all around us, IMO, but exposure and audience attachment is tough. Even on the radio there have been times where I haven’t really liked a song until the third or fourth listen.. and conversely liked songs for a while then got sick of them..

Yeah. I suggested to the last band that we do a sprinkling of covers but I was outvoted.

My old housemate used to play in a band, I’ve been to a lot of pub gigs that had 3 or 4 local bands on in short sets. For some of them even their covers were dire. they had to be good-ish even to get the audience participation in the covers.

The expectation to compose, arrange, play, perform, and record original material is a very recent and very narrow thing, if we look at the human production of music. 99% of all the music ever made has been split between the multiple roles. I blame the Beatles for this white guy expectation to deliver original, material.

I mean, it’s clearly not impossible.. but I suspect that many bands who came up through the pub scene also did covers at first to establish a following.

The expectation to compose, arrange, play, perform, and record original material is a very recent and very narrow thing, if we look at the human production of music. 99% of all the music ever made has been split between the multiple roles. I blame the Beatles for this white guy expectation to deliver original, material.

I mean there are bands that never wrote a song ever.

It’s only the recent whiteboy English language rock that’s even ‘meant’ to be written by the performers.

The other (hundreds of) musical traditions over the (thousands of) years have all been prescribed by ritual, tradition, or dance.

“We’ll all be rooned,” said Hanrahan
He sounded most forlorn
Outside the ASX, while trade began,
One chilly Monday morn.

The investors stood around about,
Coat-collars to the ears,
And talked of shares and interest rates
As they had done for years.

“It’s lookin’ crook,” said Daniel Croke;
“Bedad, it’s cruke, me lad
For never since the GFC
Had investing been so bad.”

“It’s bad, all right,” said young Whitehead
With timing so sublime
As everyone in chorus said
“It’s different this time.”

And so around the chorus ran
“The market’s stuffed, no doubt.”
“We’ll all be rooned,” said Hanrahan,
“Before the year is out.

“The shares have crashed; ye’ll have your work
To save your hard-earned cash;
From here way out to Back-o’-Bourke
They’re talkin’ ‘bout the crash.

“They’re cryin’ for rate cuts,” he said,
“They’ve gone and lost their nerve.”
The investors scratched their heads,
And awaited the Reserve.

“There won’t be growth, in any case,
Not a dollar to be made;
The market’s rigged – a gambler’s place
What is a guy to trade?”

“If shares don’t spike this month,” said Dan,
And cleared his throat to speak –
“We’ll all be rooned,” said Hanrahan,
“If rates don’t fall this week.”

A heavy silence seemed to spread
O’er all – it was a sign
As everyone in chorus said
“It’s different this time”.

“We want a small rate cut, we do,”
O’Neil observed at last;
But Croke “maintained” we wanted two
To put the danger past.

“If we don’t get 0.5 per cent, man,
Or more to break this drought,
We’ll all be rooned,” said Hanrahan,
“Before the year is out.”

In Glenn’s good time down came the rates;
And all the afternoon
In boardrooms of investment banks in town
They sang a happy tune.

And speculation continued still,
And lightsome, gladsome elves
On dripping spout and window-sill
Kept talking to themselves.

‘Twas exuberance all day long,
A-singing at its work,
Till every cabbie took up the song
Way out to Back-o’-Bourke.

And sure as sure wages ran,
Then inflation overtop;
“We’ll all be rooned,” said Hanrahan,
“If these rate cuts don’t stop.”

And stop they did, in Glenn’s good time:
And spring came in to fold
A mantle o’er the hills sublime
Fortunes made in gold.

And days went by as good times rolled,
With drinking from the cup,
As shares and bonds and bars of gold,
They went nowhere but up.

And, oh, the smiles on every face,
As happy guy and girl
Winning the share market race
Jumped online to buy and sell.

While round the bar well dressed and fed
They drank the finest wine,
As everyone in chorus said
“It’s different this time”.

“There’ll be a crash for sure, me man,
There will, without a doubt;
We’ll all be rooned,” said Hanrahan,
“Before the year is out.”

subject vaccines, for this type of virus, which to date far as i’m aware has never been done successfully, wouldn’t it take tens of thousands (perhaps hundreds of thousands) of people taking it, and data back over many years, to know of its effectiveness, and by effectiveness I mean data from testing for possible adverse effects as well
