sick sunday

Well we all where supposed to be well on the way to Marias mum and dad’s by now, but every one except me (so far) has been really ill Ash managed to pick up a stomach bug was sick all thurs night, closely followed by Fern yesterday morning. Then Maria started late last night, this has been a particular nasty bug I just hope it passes me by. Been a bit fired up about Pink Floyd today I saw a really good documentary about them night before last and it has left a impression on me. Now I know I should be well into and familiar with the Floyd but I was always switched off because when ever I heard them I was normally in the presence of a well smoked out stonner who would always spend the whole album telling me how much it will change my life and other drug induced babbling. Boring the bollocks off me and not actually letting me hear a note of it, so I am afraid I held the impression that they where a boring stoner band and passed, not really acknowledging the small fact they have sold over 35 million copies of Dark Side alone. One thing that saddened me was realizing that there will probably not be another album like that, in the way that it did affect so many people changed the way albums where made and it was a technically stunning album. Have we had all our Dark Side’s and Sgt Peppers I sincerely hope not but I cant see it happening, the music industry is to much industry and it has lost all the art and vision. they certainly would not let a band develop regardless of sales like they used to.

Anywayz hopefully we shall be off to Southend air show tomorrow I am looking forward to that though maybe not as much as a certain little fella :)
