Yeah I used to think that too. When I was 20 my mates and I were hanging â â â â on an old bloke and he replied âmight be 70 but I got there, you havenât yetâ
Except that I am well into my sixties and reckon 70 years is enough of a life for all. Ironic for an atheist to take a biblical view.
Three score and âŚthree score more.
Q: Who wants to live to be 100?

RIP Walter Becker
67, damn he was too young. But it seems theyâve been around forever.
I remember driving across the States with a mate in 1990, and we were listening almost non-stop to a Steely Dan greatest hits cassette. Hearing songs like âDirty workâ for the first time, and listening for the weird âvibraphoneâ type sound that underpins the into riff in âRicky donât lose that numberâ-all the while passing through the vastness of Arizona and Nevada. It just was right.

A band I always dug in small doses and finally cracked through and appreciated on a deeper level more recently. Playing in a punk band in the 90s, I had no idea how much these guys had influenced my own sound, till I found out most of the bands I was emulating had been trying to sound like HĂźsker DĂź.
The classic:
The one I had cranking in the car just the other day:
RIP Grant.

Harry was a great actor for the âcharacterâ. Loved an independent film especially. Repo Man stands out for me. Oddball and low key cool.
