My wife and I were travelling on a train in to London last Saturday. I buy the Guardian and read it during the journey. I turned a page and gasped.
I've written one fan letter in my life so far and it was to William Goldman after I read his close to autobiographical novel The Color Of Light.
I have read everything I could get my hands on over the years. Watched and collected his movies. Worshiped his style.
He's a genius. A titan.
2 Forever Young - Bob Dylan
“Forever Young, I wrote in Tucson, … I wrote it thinking about one of my boys and not wanting to be too sentimental. The lines came to me, they were done in a minute. I don’t know. Sometimes that’s what you’re given. You’re given something like that. You don’t know what it is exactly that you want but this is what comes. That’s how that song came out. I certainly didn’t intend to write it – I was going for something else, the song wrote itself – naw, you never know what you’re going to write. You never even know if you’re going to make another record, really.”
3 Blue Note covers. Yeah man.
4 Keepy Uppy - venue for footie activity criticised!
Hilarious!! Sounds a lot like school, doesn't it! The chamber for the House of Commons looks like a good spot to me.
5 Personalised Netflix thumbnails.
Overtime Yeah!!
After a crunchy week at work I needed to read this before heading into the weekend - which is why I'm dispatching this bulletin early - before Friday goes to bed, Shock. Horror.
Now read this and then have a great weekend!!
“Be yourself, everyone else is taken”
I don’t agree with Oscar Wilde on this one.
In fact, almost no one else is taken. You definitely can’t (and shouldn’t) be someone who already exists, but the number of slots left is infinite.
Each of us can work to become the person we seek to be. A better version of the person we are right now.
Doing work we’re proud of for people we care about.
