The Retirement Thread

Mine was Sonja Kristina...

I saw Curved Air at Birmingham Town Hall around 1971.
Only went because of Sonja.......
Good band though.

I believe Marianne Faithfull is in a home now. I wonder if Mick Jagger is helping with the cost?

The frost has finally gone and a nice day is in store for us.

I have a lamb casserole in the slow cooker. Dishes washed and put away. Bed made. I have to clean the windows as well today as I can hardly see outside

I know classic would say open the window then

I do enjoy slow cooked lamb.....very tasty.

This made me chuckle.

I know how it hurts. Unrequited love through a TV screen............I'm surprised I matured into a sensible adult. 🤔

When I was 15 (1960) I was in love with both Lulu and Helen Shapiro.
I couldn't decide and ended up with neither

I was in love with Kathy Kirby as a youngster.

I was going to have a proper rest and stay off the legs today but I’m getting a bit antsy now. Plus, even although it’s been mostly walking and the occasional jog and cycle, I have recorded something on Strava every day since the start of the year. Hmm.

I went to see her in Manchester when I was 19.....I had a good snog with her

It was . And there is enough left for tomorrow as well. Tastes even better the next day.

She was the one I had a crush on

Though I wear a beard I do have a need for the occasional trim with a razor. The razor blades I ordered arrived this morning. Ridiculous!

All this love sick teen stuff set me thinking. I often feel these days the really good pop or rock stars of our generation have matured and grown to become truly great musicians and performers.

I saw Joan Baez at The Bridgewater Hall, Manchester in 2018, she was so accomplished overwhelming in fact. A very emotional evening. Petula Clark at The Lowry in 2013. She was 80. I had never appreciated how good she is. The friends who laughed when I told them I was going missed an incredible evening.

Same with Ray Davies at The Bridgewater. I can't remember the year but a great performance and a very interesting man to listen as perhaps a third of the performance was him talking.

I'm not I could say the same of the Stones which is an interesting thought.

I was just reading about Phililpa York aka Robert Miller who raced in the grand tours regularly doped on cortisone another substances in the 80's and said she didn't consider it to be cheating as lots were doing it and she didn't see anything wrong with it because if others are better than you she had the right to try to be as good as them. She stole medals from others simply because she wasn't good enough and felt it was her right to do it. No wonder people of both sexes are leaving the world of sports. I feel sorry for them. Rant over.

I liked Hermans hermits and the Monkeys. And the Dave Clark 5.
