I think it would be good if everyone met up before
If memory serves, the geezer Miller used to live in Glasgow. That must be why he is saying amusingly silly things like the Glasgow gigs in a pub, especially people who've come a long way. I understand there are some nice ones near the Barrowlands. Apparently there's a good one just opposite, really handy, called THE SARACEN'S HEAD. Why doesn't everyone meet up there? If I'm not mistaken, those words 'I understand' and 'Apparently' are a joke. In fact I would be very surprised if they're not. Then again, I still can't work out whether Miller was implying that *he* was going to these gigs. That seems, on the face of it, to be implied by his mail, but it also seems out of character. For one thing, it would mean people seeing him, and finding out what he looked like; which would be wrong. Does he dare disturb the universe? And if he does fly, will he take that good big Book of Essays that he was banging on about a few months ago, to stop him becoming unenlightened during the long journey? The geezer Miller also said:
Before the advent of Larry the Frog
- 'advent'. I like that, that 'advent' -
Elenita99's best friend was a mobile phone with an endless stream of French loonies on the other end.
Well, now her best friend is a mobile Canadian with a string of English loonies on his end.
Don't forget, you are ambassadors for rock'n'roll.
This reminds me, I meant to bring up Michael Bracewell's ENGLAND IS MINE a week or so ago. Has anyone, including the Miller, ever read it? I suppose it's time to go and read some Clich�s. Here are a few: In what can no man tell the future has in for us? Store. With what do certain belligerents make their military dispositions? Typical Teutonic thoroughness. In what manner do wishful thinkers imagine that the war will be over this year? Fondly. Take the word, 'relegate'. To what must a person be relegated? That obscurity from which he should never have been permitted to emerge. What may one do with a guess, provided one is permitted? Hazard. And what is comment? Superfluous. If my editor is reading this (this isn't a clich� - is it?), I have two messages for her: 1) do you still have Further Cuttings collection of mine?; 2) I really do so hope your lads knock 'em dead. Really, I do. I would be delighted if they get that treble. McAllister and Berger - I feel sure you'll agree - must start the game. Finally, I liked what Carsmile said about the cartoon characters. How - as Reynolds might have said - how *droll* he can be. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
