I'm glad I'm not young anymore....
Me haves a crazy idea: why don't you make ME the UK Prime Minister! I am seriously way under-employed. I am a British citizen. I lived there for decades. I could fly in occasionally and Skype from Gibraltar. Get Boris J or Jeremy C or both to shovel the shit;) ! And Jermey Paxman could make them 'take the can'. I could have been PM of Australia. Whether the CIA would have tolerated another Gough …..They don't have Rubelli fabric for my curtains there do they:) !
Seriously: the UK is not united. But they need to talk to each other. And when they exit Europe they need to be a thorn in the continent's side to remedy change. Not an outcast.
You should see the hits I've taken over the decades. I feel like that ship in Passengers. No wonder I start spewing out frozen donut flakes to macchiato 1st class!
Amy Winehouse (everyone wishes: wake you up forever !:(((!
(14 September 1983 – 23 July 2011)
how frozen donut flakes become nuggets of gold in the right hands....
Next up on tonight's programme....:!} :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Well- it wouldn't be the BBC without silent levity.

the rules don't apply....
What is weird about America? Could that same question be asked the U.K.? Should be an exam question and my website on the syllabus! ;) What…
David Lynch ….kinda et al, not that there is an 'al' equation. The whole financial system. OK- shooting myself in the foot- well: not really. I discovered a couple of great UK films from the 70's/80's. The Internecine Project couldn't be more apposite today if it tried! Ahhh- just joking. Trump has everything under control. Including the CIS ! And the AFB. I think the CBI is a health clinic in Wyoming….wondrous minds. Changed. As if that CIA scheme of the 30-s-70's that is my memory changed gave free instruments and 'health care' to drug addled musicians? The doc that the Raindance Fest bravely championed. I remember! I have a post-traumatic recall dream: Teresa May dancing with Malcolm McDowell in the fields of Elsyium. And there is Lola Kirke as the Blue Fairy! What happened to the world when I was dozing?
In olden days…anything goes….
[as an addendum June 28: The truth is stranger than fiction. A few nights ago I actually dreamt of me and Trump (should that be in reverse?). I was floating (flat bed style) about 10 foot above ground at a 'something'. Can't remember what. Trump just stared as if: what the 'f' are you doing here. I floated on. Came to ground in front- not behind. Can't remember what. Fronted security and for some reason did a Michael Jackson starjump 'here I am'! A blank after that. You'll think I am making this up. But it was a real dream. So here's the deal. First dream free: thereafter psychoanalysists- howsabout a great deal- $1,000 per dream. A bargain when you look at the dross out there! Never a dream about Putin thusfar. Hope springs eternal as Chekhov said:) ]
Credit Score is equal to The President in America. Just three companies controlling your life. Who needs the CIC! It's all about working 'the system'. …PAYWELL for further success! :)
Dreams are wonderful, equally illusory. They can be 'munchkins' throwing 'cherrios' at each other or sheer shards of revolution. Interesting that a cooling fan in 95 degree heat 2 foot away during sleep can sculpt dreams in such strange ways. True. You sleep, you wake, you sleep and it all seems one and the same as your mind makes semblance. Scary!
It would never happen in, umm, Iceland:) !
Just trying to regiment your summer eyes and eyes….there is a great little something that you would have thought that the BBC would have thunk. Piano Puzzler. My perfect Brit Adolphe candidate Stephen Johnson- if only he could play the piano that well;) Have a heart- he pretty much wipes the floor when it comes to music appreciation!
A film Loophole with a cast to be wowed at (the trailer in retro does rather sound like a self help drug ad;) !. Vincent Canby of the NY***! washed it off his very clean hands in a 5 sec. review.
Well: it may not be Bresson (Robert or who was that other Frog geezer…?) BUT: would all of these great actors (well many not the stars they are all now, pace pace, ucc e uccelini have gin through with that movie with mediocre 'suits' pulling the strings? Sounds totally plausible in 2020!
Ah! - just blew my retirement fund:)
Something called The Proms about to burst? Let me check them all out. Can never trust musicians, they tell the world a truth…..
{Hint: The word irony no longer exists in the American syllabus. The word awesome is predominant. Without irony.}
Tap Your Troubles Away
OK- FREE ANDREW PROMS GUIDE (disclosure- I never ever received any free Proms tickets-nor asked such)
A bold statement but the BBC Proms is the greatest music festival in the world- its duration, its breadth, its triple A talent. Many other great opera, classical, contemp music, jazz etc fest. but the BBC Proms!
Forgive the shorthand, but the following you would very unlikely get a seat anywhere in the world in the sold-out house even London:
July 25-Jarvis Cocker and friends: Scott Walker
Aug 25- Riccardo Chailly
Aug 28
La clemenza di Tito
Mozart's last opera with some of the most sublime music of all time. You can 'YouTube' it but to hear those notes live is an experience that you will never forget.
Aug 30
Renée Fleming joins Sakari Oramo and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra for music by Barber and Strauss.
Sept 1
Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra returns to the Proms for the first time in almost a decade, under Chief Conductor Daniele Gatti. Bruckner Ninth Symphony
Sept 2- Mahler 4th
Sept 4
The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and Manfred Honeck perform Mahler’s First Symphony
{I know you'll be amazing! Don't screw up Pittsburgh. You'll get the Irish Spring soap treatment over your bows on return if u do:) !}
Sept 7
Daniel Harding conducts the Vienna Philharmonic- Mahler’s Sixth.
Daniel Harding was on the scene eons before Dudamel. Long time ago. Harding conducted Mahler's uncompleted 10th in Berlin just after Giuseppe Sinopoli died. Never to be forgotten. In fairness maestros.
then later that evening, Prom 73: András Schiff performs Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier
Sept 8
Pianist Emanuel Ax joins the Vienna Philharmonic for its second Prom this season, under Michael Tilson Thomas.

Kuleshov...who....
In Manchester, elsewhere in Europe: life lingers on….
Who needs the mellow, non-trouble-making ME at Cannes when you have The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw to ruffle just a few feathers;) ! We haven't seen anything yet- his dynamite! If looks could kill....
Life goes on; film is immortal...how come?

MANCHESTER: May 22, 2017
The Manchester ISIS suicide bombing is horrific. Does the event really need Albinoni's Adagio to illustrate grief? Is the bomber a 'loser' in President Trump's word? Yes- very clearly. What would he hope to win? The problem for Western civilization lies in that we do not promulgate enough the lack of investigation into the loner/losers? Not all loners are losers and vice versa. And neither, necessarily, equates to acts of terrorism. I would equate ISIS 'losers' with those 'shooters' who one day randomly in an American town fire an automatic weapon shooting innocent people indiscriminately. The media condemns the 'shooter' to be outside of our 'winning' society. Clearly not is he nor she. But 'they' are very much a product of Western civilization, particularly American. Few want to hear let alone investigate their story. If one did something may well be learnt. These individuals are voicing something from within. Some coerced by prevailing media others by others.
Every religion over the centuries has used extreme violence to vindicate its being. It has not ceased to this day. The solution to this problem lies not in Alan Turing cryptography. And yet strangely it does in a parallel world. Is one looking for similarities or differences? The problem nowadays is that everyone is a suspect if they even err with a spelling irregularity! We are placing ourselves back in the hands of an Enigma machine. Yes: everyone is flawed. Most do something wrong. Somewhere. Sometime. Most (disenchanted) will at the first opportunity use that as cause to use the prevailing winds to 'dis' their 'hated' fuelled mostly through pure jealousy and dis-enfranchisement. Hello: Arthur Miller's The Crucible. Hello- post 9/11. If continue ignoring and failing to understand our human coding then we are sunk.
Could the ISIS debate use a Lawrence of Arabia? Possibly not. But possibly a parallel world akin? Kelly Reichardt made a film Night Moves. Julia Loktev Day Night Day Night. Movies that totally challenge the status quo. Of what lies beneath. Filmmakers wanting you to consider a world where dedicated people of belief do something you will never approve of. The film maker does not condone those actions nor empathize. Roman Polanski's film of the stage play Carnage challenged. So too the TV series Big Little Lies. How could such be relevant? All too so, alas, although it may not immediately seem so.
Maybe there should be more Muslims in American banking! There is another way. That would and could make money too. Sovereign Wealth Funds ...hmmm..ok...but what about Sovereign Credit Unions. Unthinkable? Power to the....? Unthinkable!

Every day a cia death....
-->
Wikileaks: CIA has tools to snoop via TVs
let me tell you: The Russians AND the Americans have been doin'/tryin' that since the 1960's!
Le Carre/ Stella Rimington sell millions (ok...the latter some catch up..). Whistleblowers get sent to purgatory. Such is our fff'd up planet. Can't wait to die going to Homestead (after the big cheese gets mucho fries if we all die in transit thanks to a giant cheese meteor)
