A Christmas Wish
A boy sat under the Christmas tree Waiting for a sign. Madonna was singing on MTV
‘Twas a quarter after nine. If miracles were still for sale It was time to get one now As Faith No More Stood by the door The boy wished for a cow. — Others may have wished for toys On this snowy December night. But for one poor lad, whose heart was sad His demands were ever so slight. A farmer’s son, he had no time for fun His thoughts were practically clear. No cow meant no milk, And that surely would lead To a sure death before the new year.

Tom Petty – Live Anthology
Straight to the point – why didn’t anyone think of this before.
There have been thousands of live rock albums over the years. Every group/ artist who mattered, disbanded before it’s time, died or needed some money and was too high to get back into the studio released one. Some of them were really great. It can be argued, and probably is, that the first great live rock album was Live at Leeds by The Who. Over the years Other live rock milestones would have to include Deep Purple’s Live in Japan, Woodstock and recently Leonard Cohen’s Live in London. All these More >

The Future of Education
Dear homeroom kids,
In accordance with the new technological enhancements recently introduced at the Michael Jackson High School for the Gifted and Uunderprivileged, all future exams will now be conducted by email. Seeing as there is no earthly reason now for me to attend your exams, I will be overseeing the process from my deckchair on the Lanikai Beach, Oahu, while enjoying my sex on the beach (unfortunately I found out that it is a name of a a cocktail, boy did I make a fool of myself!). If you were one of the seventy four percent that failed my geography class, More >
Tokyo Christmas Lights 2011
One of the biggest surprises for westerners visiting or working in Tokyo is the extremes that the Japanese go to in order to celebrate Christmas. This is particularly unusual when you take in to account the fact that less than one percent of the population are Christians. Every store is blasting out Jingle bells and Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer, all the shop windows have sleds and Christmas trees and the streets are lit up everywhere with multi colored fairy lights. One of the most spectacular Christmas traditions is the multi-media outdoor display held each year behind the Tokyo Midtown More >
Citizen Jobs – the Steven Jobs biography could make a classic movie
Reading the authorized biography of Steve Jobs you can’t help wonder at how complex a man he was. Walter Isaacson’s impressive book seems to tell all, and a lot of the “all” isn’t very positive. Given over for adoption at birth, Jobs carried suppressed emotions throughout his life as can be attested by those who knew him well. His pursuit for perfection was often judged fanatical. Anyone in his path got trampled, including the people who helped him make it to the top. Yet Jobs was a revolutionary and several of his projects have changed the way we live.
