Festive greetings from Tokyo in the land of the twee.Apparently last year one department store in Tokyo chose to celebrate christmas with some lovely posters of a crucified santa something got lost in the translation. I am not rerally sure why i am posting but this morning I found out that Curtis Mayfield died on Sunday and i am pretty upset. So rest in peace Curtis I loved your voice. BandS content coming up i saw some schoolgirls looking at their CDs the other day in HMV and the general opinion seemed to be "Kawaii" which is the only word i could understand but I believe this means cute so there you go soon they will rule the schools here too.oh yeah could any Uk listees tell me if " The Great Escape " is on TV this year it was always on TV on Boxing day when I was a kid everytime I see it I think Steve Mcqueen is going to make it over that bloody fence but he never does but he looks pretty cool riding his bike, all his own stunts you know, anyway so you believe he's gonna make it. Anyyway so when its the middle of the night and he or she has just popped up in your dreams again and you think they are there beside you and of course their not. Or when fuckin Margaret Thatcher appears on tv and you get the same shiver of fear or hate of what you might do to her if you got your hands on the evil bitch as you did when you were at school. Then Curtis is often the only man to listen to because he makes you believe you are going to make it and that human beings despite being capable of great cruelty are also able to be absolutely beautiful. I'm just sorry he didnt make it. Kevin. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
