Introduction. I have to agree with Orscar Wilde in that I can resist anything but temptation and I believe that is true of most people, especially artists and creators, although that can be extended into life where temptation turns into something terrible, dot dot dot

1234 - Of Course, It's A Ramones Playlist
Introduction The reason being is that every live and some studio Ramones songs start with the shout "1 2 3 4". I remember buying "Blitzkrieg Bop" and then their first album and someone described their songs like smarties, you can't have just one, you gotta swallow the whole tube.

Welcome to The Machine II
Introduction I got a letter telling me my Broadband / TV / Landline contract was coming to an end and now would cost me £93 a month instead of the £43 that I had been paying.

The Green River Book Girls
Introduction This is a poem for Cherri and Autumn who are both voracious readers and book lovers. I always love the John Waters quote but I have greyed out the naughty word in case Autumn reads this (though I am sure she is old enough to know what it means)

Still Waiting For Godot
I first had to read "Waiting For Godot" by Samuel Beckett in English at Grammar School. I wasn't too impressed, but over the years I have come to really like the play. Music is, appropriately "Waiting For The Man" by The Velvet Underground.
