"dido rocked ..."

so. today of all days i start to add words to the blog. linked the home site to the blog, and then, entered the real world as i needed to buy my firstborn his first musical instrument. he has decided to play guitar, the other choice of violin was discussed out of the equation. the purchase is made in a shop while a 10 year old boy is trying to master the bassline to nirvanas' 'in bloom', who declares he's in a band and the rest know the song so he has to get it sorted. poor bugger. so young, and being subjected to so much pain and torment. the journey home is soundtracked by radio1 due to ease and apathy, only to hear those immortal words uttered by jo whiley regarding the corporate sanctioned V festival .. "dido rocked .." a phrase i would have never believed possible. and to cap it all, i receive an email from a friend regarding an 18th birthday party he went that was eric clapton themed. 18 years and eric clapton. the world has gone mad. or, are these omens that i should be wary of as my son sets out on his path of rock-n-roll excess. only time will tell. onwards! mark e
