Jack Johnson Continued:

After yesterday's hubbub about Jack Johnson, he, unsupprisingly was on my mind for a while, so imagine to my supprise, when I read about a new album just released this year, by none other than Mr Johnson. I ran straight out and bought a copy [read: I found a torrent and downloaded it] and have been listening to it this morning.
In Between Dreams is very, very chilled, some lovely acoustic riffs, and from what I can see so far, won't be too hard to play along to :) Banana Pancakes stands out straight away as a great tune, as do No Other Way and Sitting, Waiting, Wishing.


Meanwhile, in other news, Roman Catholics are queueing for up to 14 bloody hours to pay their last respects to Pope John Paul II, who still lies in State in the Vatican. Sky News managed to get these aerial photos:



But, obviously, not everyone is too interested:



No disrespect to anyone, and if I get some email from a religious nut complaining, here is a preview of what to expect in return buddy:


From: El Grep
To: Religious Nut
Subject: The Pope is dead, long live the Pope

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you very much for your comments and views reference my comments and views on his popeship's passing away. Now, kindly take heed: Opinions are like arseholes, everybody's got one, most are full of shit.
Yours Sincerily

Someone with an actual sense of humour.


In the words of the immortal Tigger: TTFN, TA TA FOR NOW!

  • Dear Psyco whoever you are,

    As a lapsed Roman Catholic who is now into witchcraft (titter) I would have once taken deep and meaningful offence to your mockery of the thousands upon thousands of Roman Catholics who are queueing up to see a dead Pope who looks somewhat like a Madame Tussaud's waxwork. (The guy walking along the riverside should get an award)

    Every single time they bring up that pic of dead Pope on TV, I am stuffing my gob with food and it never fails to make me gag. STOP SHOWING THE DEAD POPE!

    End communication.

    It is rather morbid showing a rotting decaying corpse every 10 mins on the tele. During the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions, they struggled to ensure dead bodies were seen on television, as it is bad publicity for the campaign to go to war, and they would lose support. Now some really old geezer pops his clogs, after surviving countless heart attacks, and an assasination attempt that saw him shot, and they are parading his body across every channel in existence. I can't wait for tomorrow when they eventually bury the poor man, and let him rest if bloody peace.

    (ps, laughed my ass off at the Tussauds quote)
