Here I am, sat with a blanket, two jumpers, joggers and two pairs of high knee socks. Cold much!! I don't wanna ask downstairs to put my heating on either because they were super mardy earlier when I forgot my key and asked to be let in.. So gonna leave them alone for a bit, opps!
Anyway- its Metallica's 30th birthday today, wow! Been around for a while.. According to the sources of 'Rolling Stone' magazine, there was a massive six-hour celebration in San Francisco. With several tributes and special guests, including ex-bassist Jason Newsted. It all sounds pretty epic tbh- typical rock out festival in a self-made museum like building.. I think your gonna have to read the article to understand what I'm on about - http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/metallica-reunite-with-bassist-jason-newsted-at-30th-anniversary-kickoff-20111205?utm_source=dailynewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter - But for those who don't really like Metallica.. The artist of the day today is Syd Barrett- a personal fav of my family. Singer/guitarist/founder of Pink Floyd. Lived a pretty interesting life. I have this philosophy that all musical(and otherwise) geniuses are all mental. Or just very odd people. Zum Beispiel:
1. Michael Jackson- did he not create Pop, was he not the King of dancing, did he not change the music industry and still influences millions today, was he not branded mentally ill?
2. Albert Einstein- I'll grant he is no musician but isn't he regarded as the father of modern physic's, but also regarded as a bit of a mad scientist?
3. Nick Drake- a one-of-a-kind guitarist, with a stunningly beautiful voice, yet a recluse and died young without barely ever being seen in public or recording his records.
4. Syd Barrett- a genius. Addicted to drugs, both influential on all, even those to whom he is unknown. Died a recluse and dealing with mental illness.
.. The list could go on, but I'm tired and cold and need my bed. What's your view anyway, normally when I say my opinion I'm looked at really weirdly, as if I'm talking a load of bull.
Seeing as I'd loveloveLOVE to publish some of my work(my music and that..) I should become either a recluse or mad. Either or, they both seem to lie together after a while..
And on that bizarre note, bed time. Na'night Madhatters -x
