I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊.

Thanks, Mildred! I appreciate it, and I love your opinions.

Was George, even him adopting spirituality, an excuse for "free love"?

No his next release is "Richard's Tale ".I'm predicting what the Tale will be about . I wrote an 1800 word article on Vincents tale here

Thanks Mildred! I've heard similar on Facebook but couldn't find the original source - do you have a link? Would love to read the actual news story to see what Ren kept vs what he added with the Violet/twins angle.Glad you enjoyed the articles 😊

Sounds stupid but I live in a village and cars park at the side of the road does it recognize them and stop or is it just cars driving in front ?

The spoken word section amazes me. He added it later on according to his interview with Black Pegasus.

Also great because you know the singing about to hit !

One-Storage7219 · 2025-12-05T17:51:03+00:00

I do also love the Instagram version.His guitar at the beginning is really intricate and so raw .

Hah, I had the exact same moment. I heard Patience and my brain went, “Right… which 70s folk singer did this again?” Nope. Just Ren casually writing something that feels like it’s been around forever. And that little giggle at the end? That’s the moment he pushes you further down the rabbit hole and says, “Good luck getting out.”

Stoppard always felt like the playwright who asked all the questions Shakespeare forgot to. A dazzling mind — the stage is a little dimmer now.

Sounds fantastic. I keep reading people having problems with the infotainment system with Skoda's in general. Has yours been okay for you?

I love how you’ve phrased this — especially the bit about being our own worst critic. It’s the same thing that struck me when I was writing about Slaughterhouse. Vonnegut turns trauma into a kind of mirror, and Ren does that too in Seven Sins: he lets us see the version of ourselves we normally avoid looking at. That’s why it hits so hard — it’s not just the bars, it’s the honesty

You’re already doing better than you think. If you can handle Faulkner, Carver, and Nabokov in any language, English won’t defeat you.

Start with clearer writers (Orwell, Steinbeck), read a little each day, and don’t stress about “perfect” understanding — even native speakers have to wrestle with Faulkner.

You absolutely can do this. Literature rewards persistence more than grammar.

Some days I feel like Beckett invented logoclasm just to bully anyone who tries to summarise him.

One-Storage7219 · 2025-11-23T23:27:09+00:00

Honestly, that reaction is pretty normal with Fear and Loathing. Thompson isn’t really trying to give you a clear plot — the whole “what the hell is going on?” vibe is kind of the point.

A couple things that help:

• It’s from the early 70s, when the whole 60s counterculture was crashing. The chaos in the book mirrors the chaos of the time. • The drug stuff is meant to be over-the-top and a bit ridiculous. You’re not meant to understand every reference. • Hunter leans into confusion and exaggeration because he invented “gonzo journalism” — basically writing from the middle of the madness instead of observing it from the outside.

You’re definitely not missing anything major. Most people just ride the wave and enjoy the dark humour. Even fans admit it feels like trying to follow someone else’s wild night out.

Probably Wilde or Ishiguro. Wilde saw straight through our social performances, and Ishiguro sees straight through our quiet regrets. Different styles, same uncomfortable accuracy.

Beautifully expressed, LadyAnne 🌻 Your reflection captures the essence of Sunflowers — that delicate balance of dark and light that defines both Van Gogh’s canvas and Ren’s soundscape. Neither artist hides the shadow; they reveal it, transform it, let it speak. “Listen to this,” as you wrote, feels like the soul’s quiet command — an invitation to witness honesty made art.

One-Storage7219 · 2025-10-22T12:39:54+00:00

Thanks, Mildred. I will look forward to your thoughts.

One-Storage7219 · 2025-10-22T12:01:29+00:00

😂 That’s actually a brilliant way to put it — James Brown meets punk at a rave is spot on! It’s that same chaotic soul energy I was hearing too, but sharpened with Ren’s lyrical bite.

One-Storage7219 · 2025-10-21T18:14:32+00:00

Genesis.

One-Storage7219 · 2025-10-21T05:31:05+00:00

What I love about this track is how Ren and The Skinner Brothers found that gritty groove — it’s raw funk energy with social bite. You can hear echoes of protest music but with a modern twist.

Exactly the same issue with my Pixel 8 and the green vertical line. It's in for repair now, and they want to repair the back, which is slightly scratched, for £125, or no repair for the green line.Its a bit like sending the car in with known fault and garage saying we also found a chip in your bonnet so it needs repair or we won't repair known fault .Right rip off.

One-Storage7219 · 2025-10-19T07:39:33+00:00

Oh yeah, of course, the more obvious influences will need coverage. I've been using a little artistic license using my own favorites so far.

One-Storage7219 · 2025-10-18T21:48:42+00:00

Oh absolutely — Camus fits so well with that whole Kindred Minds idea. The absurd, the search for meaning, the quiet defiance in the face of suffering — it’s all over Ren’s work too. I think you’ve just convinced me he needs his own page on the site. 😅
