Good morning everyone, I hope you have a superb day ahead and you're all good.
On this day in music, 12th of November:
1977 ~ The Sex Pistols topped the UK chart with their album, 'Never Mind the Bollocks, Hereโs the Sex Pistols'.
2008 ~ John Ronald "Mitch" Mitchell, the drummer for Jimi Hendrix, dies after years of alcohol-related health problems in Portland, Oregon, at age 61.
2021 ~ Britney Spears' conservatorship, in place since 2008, finally comes to an end when a judge terminates it.
Two videos today, Sex Pistols and Jimi Hendrix Experience ~ Fire, where Mitch Mitchell is so good on the drums.
On the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, when the guns fell silent, we will remember them.
Lest we forget.
Good morning everyone, it's half past week! I hope you have a superb day.
On this day in music, 11th of November:

2004 ~ The first UK Music Hall of Fame ceremony took place, with Robbie Williams, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Michael Jackson, and Cliff Richard as the inaugural inductees
2011 ~ Black Sabbath announce they will reunite with their original lineup for a new album and tour in 2012. The press conference is hosted by Henry Rollins. The resulting LP, 13 was released in 2013.
A seriously amazing album too. Was meant to go to and see this tour, but couldn't make it even though I had the tickets.
Being a huge Sabbath fan, I had to go with 'God Is Dead?' from the album 13.
Good morning everyone, I hope you have an amazing day ahead.
On this day in music, 10th of November:
1975 ~ Queen shot the video for 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which according to director Bruce Gowers, took about four hours. It aired repeatedly on Top Of The Pops and helped the song become one of the most popular in U.K. history.
1984 ~ The Queen of Funk, Chaka Khan, scored her first No.1 single in the UK with a cover of Princeโs 'I Feel for You'.
2003 ~ An emotional tribute to the recently deceased Johnny Cash is held at Nashville's famous Ryman Auditorium, featuring classic Cash songs performed by Sheryl Crow, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Kid Rock, and Steve Earle.
Good morning everyone, I hope you have a superb day, Monday is with us..
On this day in music, 9th of November:
1968 ~ Led Zeppelin played their first show in London at The Roundhouse, sharing the bill with John Lee Hooker, Deviants, John James, and Tyres.
1973 ~ Billy Joel released his second album, Piano Man. The title track, based on his nights performing at a piano bar in Los Angeles called The Executive Room, became his first hit when it peaked at No. 25 in America.
1997 ~ Paul Weller was arrested and spent the night in a French jail after smashing up his hotel room. His record company paid more than ยฃ4,000 to cover the damage; Weller was released the following day.
I had to go with Billy Joel ~ Piano Man, I genuinely do love this song.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
ย The torch; be yours to hold it high.
ย If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Lest we forget.
I'm thinking of riding a horse for a children's charity.
I'm scared as fuck of them.
Should we do it?
Good evening you beautiful people.
There's a lot of very negative stuff going on right now and evil exists, in plain sight.
Just remember to breathe, take five, look after yourselves and take care of your family.โฅ๏ธ
You say the hill's too steep to climb, chiding
You say you'd like to see me try climbing
You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb the hill in my own way
Just wait awhile for the right day
And as I rise above the tree line and the clouds
I look down, hear the sound of the things you said today
Climb it your own way. Whatever it takes. โฅ๏ธ
Yeah, islam.
A heartbreaking account of #Narges_Sarbandi_Farahani's body: it was split open up to her throat, and her nails had been pulled out. A horrific crime that can't simply be brushed aside.
We won't stop, the Islamic Republic will fall by any means.
"Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good
No, crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move".
I think Led Zep are probably my top number one band - yes even beating Pink Floyd.
I have a Zep ZOSO tat, no PF.
Fun fact; my father met Gilmour many times and even was sent a gift which I still have. ;)
So anyway, cheers all and happy Friday. Music is food for the soul!
Here's When The Levee Breaks LZ. iechyd da ~ to your good health! ๐๐ธ
In the photos, you can see the Gower Peninsula. Proper autumnal and she's giving it some. Mother Nature FTW! ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ๐
Good morning everyone, I hope you have a wonderful day ahead and happy Friday!
On this day in music, 6th of November:
1972 ~ During a U.K. tour, Billy Murcia of The New York Dolls died after choking on his coffee following a drug overdose.
1992 ~ Rage Against the Machine released their debut studio album, Rage Against the Machine. It features the singles 'Killing in the Name' 'Bullet in the Head' and 'Bombtrack'.
I bought this and their subsequent albums, brilliant stuff back then and still poignant now.
2014 ~ with the release of 1989, Taylor Swift became the only recording artist to have three albums that sold more than one million copies each in their first week (following 2012โs Red and 2010โs Speak Now).
I've included Taylor's Version for the image, she did amazing sorting all that out.
Fuck this shit. Don't abuse women, ever.
No.
For the rape apologists foaming at the mouth to defend Brand after a jury just convicted him of anally raping a woman, the ones claiming she consented because she went to his room, that agreeing to vaginal sex means everything else is fine, or that she 'waited' to speak up so it doesn't count - read this thread. โฌ๏ธ
I bet if a man got an unlubricated penis rammed into his arse without being asked, he'd suddenly understand what consent means.

I see some apologists saying 'why has it taken so long so say something' or 'why has it taken so long for them to say something' or even 'why now after so long'.
So let's talk about it.
There is never a good time. At all. Never.
Yes for some there is money involved, but not all. Not always.
Sometimes, you are in denial, in shock as to what has has happened.
For some, it takes years to understand what it is and many years later to not understand what it is, but come to terms with it.
Then you have to process it, then understand it.
Then deal with the legal matters and the law.
The law is bollocks and full of interpretations.
The CPS study it, THEY decide is it court worthy.
Then they gather evidence and go from there, including witnesses and so forth.
By this point, plod are uninvolved.
Now it's down to the courts and the law.
They have to accept the evidence given and base their decisions on the evidence placed before them.
After this, they have to listen to witness testimonies and defence too - but ONLY after the witness ones have been submitted.
The courts are fucking cruel and inhabit secondary victimisation. It's real, it happens.
Then after about a year, maybe three or longer, you find it goes to court.
Your devices have been taken, your online and personal identity exposed to all.
You now have to face court.
Screen or open, you decide.
You know you're exposed. In every way.
You know he did it, he knows too. Now you have to relive it and do it again and again. In front of people you don't even know.
They will demonise you, tell you how bad you are and how awful you are - because you turned up to court in a nice suit every day.
Fuck 'em, they want to grind you down.
The jury believe the wanker and they make a mockery of you and he walks and you are left empty.
But you're not.
The CPS believed you, the courts did too. So did the jury.
They just didn't have enough on the cunt to sentence him.
Walk proud knowing you got as far as you did. โฅ๏ธ
Angry mob, doing what angry mob does.
It's a sickness.
Went to see our family and grandson.
Took him to a park. All swings and slides and 'wall art' graffiti. Cool with that.
Amongst it was pali flags and solidarity graffiti.
This is in a children's playground.
No (ofc) mention of terrorism, kidnappings, murder..
Only love hearts, pali flags and solidarity signs, next to well wishes and be kind.
It's indoctrination.
Guess what the populous was?

Update on yesterday. This woman @LightninLex is brave and strong. She would NEVER choose to โplay victimโ - she would rather die of the shame - but she WAS attacked by a crowd of pro-Palestine violent men. After the leader of @SheffieldPSC Musheir El Farra assaulting her as youโve already seen - further footage by a random Tik Tok man attending shows that a crowd swarmed her. She was pushed towards the wall by a man named Zain Shah and her bodycam ripped off. Others then crowd round and jostle her.
The police intervene to take her away to give a statement. She is closely followed by Shah who is the โHamas Boyโ who harassed us earlier in the year and shouted โLong Live Hamasโ at us. They do nothing to prevent him and chat along with him.
She can be heard answering when asked if sheโs ok, โI think my finger is brokenโ and repeating this to the police.
Her finger swelled very badly overnight. Pictures๐. At hospital her ring was cut off and though it isnโt broken there is serious damage and she must see a hand specialist tomorrow.
Good morning everyone, I hope you have a superb Thursday ahead, almost the weekend!
Also have a wonderful time tonight if it's your thing. #BonfireNight
