Backwards, Forwards, Round and Round to Nowhereland. Where Are We Going To?
We never learn from history, we repeat the same mistakes again and again.
We recently put the clocks forward, later in the Autumn we will put them back? Summertime is better, isnt it?
Is progress moving backwards or forwards? I really do wonder with some of the crazy ideas like micro chips on humans, using poor animals to experiment on.
Certainly no respect for the pain on amimals to achieve a goal? If misused will we all suffer?
Is good music moving forwards?
Few of us here like Rap or want to listen to really modern music.
We do like to return to Rock or the Boogie, or the sixties or seventies.
We think rap and many types of modern music is backwards, yet we are reverting to the past.
Can’t beat some classical, but rarely so we listen these days.
Then in the sixties there appeared to be hidden agendas in music. Easy to spot in Pink Floyd.
Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall
Norman Gunston interviews Paul McCartney 1975
Butthole Surfers - Pepper
Yet some crazies thought music was beckoning them to commit crimes, such as Charles Mansion, who believed he was resurrected as Christ and should kill.
The Beatles - Helter Skelter
I Don’t Like Mondays was inspired by a school shoot out.
There have always been hidden messages in advertising, playing on emotions!
Some political goals will never succeed and actually damage real progress.
The world appears to be less optimistic. Does money make the world go around or power?
Post gifs, memes, music that changed the world or music you like that contains messages or your favorite music genres. Or just chat with friends. Base all on respect for commenters here. Most of all have fun.

Summer Time
…And the living is easy.
It’s officially Summer Time in some places on Easter Day. I don’t remember Easter in Summer time previously.
Remember to change your clocks…Forward for Spring…or Summer whichever.
It’s nearly time for us to start complaining that it’s too hot.
It’s time for mosquitos to start buzzing and time for insects to be our friends.
Time for summer sports.
Last summer was way too hot, 48C, ugh.
I love the beach when it’s not too hot and swimming in clear blue sea.
Those were the days.
I no longer sunbathe.
Post your favorite summer memories or songs.
What do you like to do in the summer?
I love swimming and rowing ashore from a yacht. That’s what I used to do in Bodrum Turkey for the Turkish drink Raki. I was the only one who didn’t drink!
So chat with friends and post memes and gifs.
Respect all commenters.
Most of all, enjoy!

Easter Time And Spring Is In The Air
That means romance is in the air.
It doesn’t really feel like Easter here yet, although streetlights are on display in high streets.
My dear Grandmother’s birthday was the last day of March.
Don’t forget to change your clocks, very soon, if you haven’t already.
How will you celebrate Easter?
Do you go to church?
Where I live, they have processions with saints being carried round. Not a good idea with the abundance of road works. One year, they fell carrying a statue of a saint.
We also have statues of angels in the streets too, some have blue faces, rather unusual….Mainly quite pretty.
We have Oompa bands too, and sometimes fights, so shop windows may be boarded up.
Its nor really my idea of a celebration, lots of booze, noise and fast food, and market stalls. Sometimes, I go to listen to the outdoor music.
The smaller villages do have good fiestas, much more fun, and usually an orchestra in the square with intermittent church clock chimes interrupting the performance.
A few Art exhibitions are up too.
Do you hide Easter eggs, or paint them? Thats fun!
Spring is here, birds are nesting.
It’s a time for a new beginning…Spring, Easter bunnies and lambs.
Feel free to chat, post music perhaps your favorite pieces, memes, pictures of Easter celebrations and gifs.
No politics, please, respect all commenters, and most of all, enjoy!

Baby….Lets Rock and Roll
Nothing like the Boogie Woogie, best dance ever. Wish I could do that now. LOL
Energy, Skill, Pzaz…Wow…Amazing!
What a great breakthrough and era for music.
Such great artists emerged in Music
Little Richard
Bill Hailey
Elvis Presley
The Everly Brothers
It was really exciting!
This era was just a bit before my time. It arose from the depression of WW11, and teenagers with money for perhaps the first time, wonderful cars of style, great movies emerging, and of course The Rolling Stones later on the scene.
And…you are here.
So post your favorite rock music, any ole way you choose it!
I remember making petticoats stiff with sugar water. Everyone used to sing or hum tunes…never hear that now. Music took off like a wild bird. Now, we hear the click click click of key pads, even on the bus.
Did you play an instrument, sing, or dance?
What clothes did you wear, drainpipes, slicked back hair, bouffant? Diamonds on the soles of your shoes?
You can tell us, we can keep a secret.
Have fun, chat, reminisce, post memes, gifs, perhaps old photos. I know some of you had cars to dream of, style, and happy days.
Most of all, enjoy!
