With regard to guests: Wordsworth later described Coleridge to a mutual friend as “an absolute nuisance” who “was rotting out his entrails by intemperance.” When not dosing himself with laudanum, Coleridge drank gin, and often woke screaming in the night, terrifying Wordsworth’s family.
That description covers the majority of my friends.

Tears For Fears tour piece by one of the B-team (the Band) rather than one of the A-team (the Artists, which means Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal)....
Interesting things to read in this download:

TIL Gene Roddenberry wrote lyrics for the Star Trek theme, never intending for them to be used. This got him 50 percent of the royalties.

It's not reasonable or some gateway to greater meaning but when I get caught in a vortex of irritation at the vast constraints the musical world is forcing upon me I look at this picture of Giorgio Moroder in Los Angeles playing a Roland by the pool in 1982 and feel immediately calmed...
The only vortex of constraints I’m irritated by at the moment are my own lack of talent, rather than the tools I’ve got to hand. Though currently sitting in a battered armchair with an iPad, an ice-pack on my back, and the cold bleak Welsh winter hammering at the double glazing, I will allow myself a tang of jealousy towards Mr Giorgio with his sunny LA pool and Roland synth.
To be fair, that Jupiter 8 cost a lot more than an iPad...
Some gems in this thread.
Just been catching up.
Thanks for this @JohnnyGoodyear

Cheers boss, seems to be a few contradictions in there though - the bit about avoiding passive income, followed by it being a good thing...
I’m too old and broken for all that lark anyway - been there, got ripped off, didn’t even get the t-shirt.
My ambition is to be able to drive again (herniated disc), pay the bills, and spend as much time doing nice things as I can, before my carcass finally gives in.
