Stream-of-consciousness...

The post arrived a few minutes ago, complete with ticket to Waiting for Godot at the Haymarket in the summer. Thanks, Yvonne, for the heads-up - I'm in the Gallery (as usual) and it'll be fabulous.

Anyway, it came with a flyer for Steven Berkoff's current production of On the Waterfront - and it's doubtless a reflection on my age that I instantly got Lloyd Cole's Rattlesnakes running round in my head; so I went over to YouTube - and found the whole extent of the current enormous row and subsequent blocking of clips to the UK - the only Lloyd Cole versions were "not available to your country".... apart from a couple of people's phone-camera clips from Wolverhampton City Hall or wherever...

So here's the magnificently weird Tori Amos with her characteristically quirky version which is available to those of us outside YouTubeLand...



And also, the people of Victoria, Australia are trying to get back on their feet after the bush fires and we're sending them misery-meisters Coldplay?!? Ah well.
