A Good Night's Sleep

[poliphilo]

I was so dog-tired I went to bed at nine. Nakisha next door was having a birthday party- and she and her friends were still playing on the street. It was like being a little kid again, going to bed with the sun still up.

Carl was here fixing things yesterday. One of the things he fixed was the hole in the woodwork that Trash the rat made burrowing out of the kitchen when I inadvertently locked him in.  I'd done such a good job blocking all his passages- gaps left in the brickwork when old pipeing was removed- that he had to dig himself a new one. I haven't seen him for a while now. I hope he's told all his cousins that this house is just one, enormous rat trap.

You don't want to hear my views on Michael Jackson.

Alas, it *was* a long time ago. That's the sad part, for me.

Like most great pop artists he had a very brief moment of cultural ascendancy. For how long was he truly the King- one year- a couple of years? He very quickly became old hat- and was sadly unable to re-invent himself.

Some of his late stuff is quite nice and understated; some of it is rubbish.

I always had a secret weakness for "Earth Song" despite the trite lyrics and the trucker's gear change near th end that Sting, of all people, had the hypocrisy to criticise!

Me too. Earth Song is awesome. I loved the resurrecting elephants.
