Conway Twitty – Baseball
Huey Lewis, Alice Cooper and Glen Campbell – Golf
Julio Iglesias and Luciano Pavarotti – Goalkeepers
Avril Lavigne – Ice Hockey
Jack Johnson – Surfing
Barry White – Crown Green Bowling
Simon Le Bon – Sailing and Motorbiking
and
Willie Nelson – American Football (hard to picture I know)

A PUBLIC APOLOGY TO ALLADIN MACLEAN ESQ>

I had started to notice that the 'business case' model was becoming prevelent and realised that if I didn't buck my ideas up and come up with a marketable suggestion I would get left behind selling gas mantles of musical appreciation when everyone else had moved onto the electric light of merchandising.

This transformational strategy, although plainly stolen from the competition, proved a decisive intervention in the market but moreover, the shout was given added impetus by securing the emotional buy in of the dragons due to the twin advantages of the timely death of the songwriter and the fact that the shout was blisteringly obvious and would appeal similtaneously to the old,the romantics, employees of DHL and the gay community - not since Hoover's ' it beats as it sweeps as it cleans' has there been such a 'tiger in the tank' - a master stroke of marketing.

This is however only the populist ' sell out' henri hannah - other less clandestine shouts were also available - that this one was selected does not in any way reflect upon the personal prefrences of the real henri hannah (though it's still a great track).

I therefore apologise to Alladin MacLean and the blogotariat for this clandestine behaviour,carried out by a single rogue part of my brain and which has now been removed.

I'd like to reiterate that your inter -actions are important to me at this important time and we'll all do better in the future.

Love is a Rose - Neil Young (2:16)


Paul from Ayr


#15 thanks for the info Scotch, I was a bit bored this morning!

#39 @ ya HH it must have taken a few steps to get there.
however that is not my main point.
i see the words.
what i read though, as an objective bystander, is a rather weak justification at a cheap shout.
not a capital crime, granted. just try harder.
where i do concur is the 'love' album.a wonderful piece of production.

(i'm quite excited as i'll be rattling the saucepans around the hob as ma wee tune comes on....in less time to soft boil an egg,excluding the time taken to boil the water if you want to get really technical)

cheers frae the dale

#44 Imelda usually asks me to make love to her when she is boiling an egg. Something to do with her egg timer breaking a while back.

I wouldn't say my wife is fat, but when I carried across the threshold I had to make two trips.

It's not too late for us to catch the train to Edinburgh.

I was going down the pub last night and told her to get her coat. She thought she was coming with me till i explained i was puttin the heating off.

#15 and 16 Thank you so much Mr Git you have opened up a whole new world to me I thought I was doing well setting up a blog and facebook account now the world is my oyster haha x

Francesca: Roy Harper

Many happy returns my precious Francesca... 12 years of pure attitude.

We're having some problems posting your comment at the moment. Sorry. We're doing our best to fix it.

Aye, right!

Picking up on Madonna track played last night... (not that I'm a Madonna fan; infact she ranks up there with Whacko Jacko and The Lighthouse family in my list of artist titled 'Waterbaord me; deprive me of sleep; just don't make me listen to...)... I digress... point is a THEME suggestion:

Songs about childhood, being young and blissfully innocent.

#51 the only madonna song i ever liked was 'this used to be my playground' which strangely enough would fit the bill.

Happy birthday Francesca. 12 years of attitude????


And you've still to become a teenager....

Ah! I thought you were referring to comment #11


#11

Mary-Doll,

Great shout! It reminds me of a scene in

Help ma boab, will ye lookit the sizeay thae slippers!!!


>8-D

Tonight's show has convinced me that a return to the one hour format would sharpen it up and cut out a lot of mindless laughter and unnecessary discussion about people's eating habits.

#71

I agree to a degree. Despite the theme, 18 songs in 1 hour looks quite impressive against an average of what? 23 or 24 songs in a typical 2 hour show?

So yeah, rambling off on tangents can be fun but not at the expense of the music.

Instead of one 2 hour show, maybe we could have two 1 hour shows with different (related?) themes.
