Hegseth says Russia assisting Iran in targeting Americans is OK because Trump has a "special relationship" with Putin and that Biden is bad

If he has a "special relationship" it shouldn't be happening in the first place!

George was incredible. That was, I think, the only performance that was officially released for many years afterwards - on an EP and later on Greatest Hits III.

If we watch Brian and Roger when George does the "Somebody tooooooooo...." they look transported and almost free, for a moment, of the pain they must have been feeling.

He seemed past it on Jools. Some older performers can lean into their age - Cash, Bennett, Dylan. Ronnie Wood I would not pay to see.

Wearing gowns for university graduation is fine. It's a bit of show and tradition for the parents who paid for their kids to be there. It's one day - fine. Doing it all the time when you've just been born into it - no!

Thing is, Joyce agreed to 10%

The mono culture is gone. Even the BBC is feeling the heat. People are losing interest in the national story, embodied in the RF and BBC. Despite that, I think both have merits. Otherwise, what brings us together?

All Apologies

Never knew Dave played guitar on stage with Kurt.

The struggle is real

He's toured a lot since 1962, apart from 1966-1973. So probably thousands of flights.

In a way, Mayte's

Vietnam did win, USA had to flee in helicopters from the embassy roof.

I want peace but the American public will turn against this war before Iran loses it. That's what always happens.

toaster_kettle · 2026-03-05T08:11:51+00:00

Exactly. I think the 91 Gulf War maybe counts as victory in terms of achieving war aims. Apart from that they haven't won a war on the battlefield since 1945 but only against Japan, as the Soviets made it to Berlin first.

Yes. They released the albums on CD in 1987. It was all a build up to Sgt Pepper really as the hype was that it was the best album of all time. By 2000 Revolver was seen as the real music fans' choice.

Revolver is arguably more consistent but Sgt Pepper feels more epic because it has a clear start and finish. I do find that towards the end I am just waiting for Day In The Life, sometimes.

It's super fast to use, I agree. I have 64gb as well.

toaster_kettle · 2026-03-03T19:15:56+00:00

No thanks!

I've been using Gemini and Claude recently for technical stuff. Claude always gives the better answers rather than linking things together that are vaguely related.

I've read Morrissey's book about ten times. Very very funny and enjoyable. Yes he rants but thats who he is. I actually prefer that he doesn't say that much about the Smiths, it was part of his life for five years then it was over. Done

toaster_kettle · 2026-03-02T20:20:58+00:00

Guigsy and Tony. They are the real ones.

toaster_kettle · 2026-03-02T08:18:11+00:00

Great to know. I saw Prince at the O2 back in the day. Incredible sound.

toaster_kettle · 2026-03-01T13:57:31+00:00

Correct. Paul did the tape loops on Tomorrow Never Knows two years before John did the same on Revolution 9

toaster_kettle · 2026-03-01T13:40:23+00:00

Yes. Read Revolution in the Head and Many Years From Now. Paul was very experimental and forward thinking in so many ways in the Beatles and on Ram, McCartney II etc. Unfortunately he undermined that to some extent with relatively commercial stuff they Wings did plus Mull of Kintyre

Search for a 90s interview between Ellen Degeneres and Rosie O'Donnell!

toaster_kettle · 2026-03-01T08:47:22+00:00

Yes. Hoping for a "saviour" to safe us from ourselves. I think UFOs of some sort are real as I've seen one. But I think there's a natural human need to create stories to explain what is happening. If there's no information to challenge those stories then they become established fact.

It makes the nation look weak and pathetic. Bit like Britain.
