Summary: .The song this week is from my Doowop album which takes us back to the golden days of rock and roll...it is called "Taxi To The Past" and wonders where the time has gone...as indeed do we all...and in reality time took us all out of those days without us realising so the song says if we could get a taxi back there for one day we could at least say goodbye. The BBC have come under fire for their coverage of the hurricanes in America...it was questioned as to why they had to have a reporter standing in the middle of it all when all that is required are camera shots.....and following their coverage of the failed bomb attempt on the train in London we were subjected to the reasons why the bomb never went off....so off they go explaining what SHOULD have happened....I'm sure this information will be helpful to the terrorists....nice one BBC. The latest car theft crimes are receiving a lot of publicity....the thieves now break into houses and get the keys for the car outside and off they go....which will make people a bit more diligent I suppose....and the police are too understaffed to deal with petty crime...or so it has been announced on the news which lets the criminals know the situation...and there has been a bit of publicity regarding some empty headed moron riding his motorbike down the middle lane on the motorway doing a wheelie..then waving both hands in the air...I think he got an 18 month ban...should have been jailed for 10 years....oh sorry I forgot about his human rights..........the human rights brigade need a reality check....what "rights" should criminals have....i don't find it difficult NOT burgling houses or not driving round like a lunatic....it's quite easy....but obviously these boneheads need to be treated humanely....it's a joke. We are now bombarded with "celebrity" panel shows....where no one has a clue who the so called celebs are...especially me......they seem to be talentless youngsters from either the soaps where they all seem to yell at each other or the reality shows where they are looking for a relationship....what happened to entertainment? and indeed entertainers....apart from the odd decent drama there is nothing worth watching on television these days....and.I have absolutely nothing against peoples preferences....love is love...BUT I was watching Tom Daley being interviewed with his "husband".....why can't he just be his civil partner?....the Oxford dictionary describes "husband" as a man married to a woman....I'm not offended in any way but find it a bit uncomfortable..... And finally Neil Sedaka has been featured on various chat shows....he is on tour in this country...I have a lot of time for him or indeed anyone who is capable of being self contained.....He co-wrote some great songs (he only wrote the music by the way)...but I remember him nearly going broke in the late sixties when Beatlemania swept all the old brigade to one side....what I could never understand was where did the millions he MUST have earned from his hits go?....these guys must know how to spend?
