Billy Bragg here in the UK is spearheading a campaign to get prisoners access to music by asking for music shops/suppliers etc to donate instruments.  The idea behind this is that it may help the inmates to release some of what's inside them -tensions, anxieties, problems etc.  Could be a good thing or... a bleeding heart liberal scheme to make wrongdoers happy

Well, he died and I thought... Ok, he's dead but I didn't really like his music.  Then Radio 2 had a tribute show and I was listening to the MJ songs and sang along almost word perfect to almost all of them so maybe he had  a bigger impact on my life than I realised.

I walked back to work on the verge of tears - probably because of a life not wasted but corrupted so far from the norm that none of us can imagine how he felt being him.

By the way Ken I'd have thought you could understand the personal nature of music and how something written from one person's heart can touch the hearts of countless others making the symbiotic connection between the fan and the artist so intense!  Let people mourn how they will, dude

Oh, hang on

Bruce Springsteen's 41 Shots - real powerful!

Cheers Lieven, for another great topic

Murderers - kill em all and let God sort em out!

My tax dollar could then be spent on something worthwhile... like MP's expense claims, social security for out of work prison guards, MP's pensions etc

Oh, the cynicism!

How about  'Ghosts' by Japan from the 80s
or 'Song to the Siren' by This Mortal Coil
but 'Theme from Harry's Game' by Clannad is king!

Road to Acceptance by Green Day
8 Mile Road by Eminem
Road Rage by Catatonia

I'll drink to that!

My first was (and is) a peavey predator exp plus electric, the only thing that looks good in red!  My wife bought it for me for Christmas one year and it's the best present i ever got! 

My son got the same model in black on the same day and quickly learned how to show me up.  2 years on, he saved his christmas money for an Ibanez SAS36FM at £300 but I still play and he can't be bothered so I got the better deal there lol.

I also got a tanglewood electro accoustic from my wife (again) thanks, honey - I love you!  I also bought myself an Ashton 12 string accoustic for when (it's been mentioned before) I want to sound truly hideous

Ah, well, not so much as how life's been treating me but how i've been treating life... not too well i fear!

hopefully 2009 will be far better than 2008!

Keep on rocking in the free world Toney
