Well I can't really support him over here in Europe. I don't mind him. He's a fascinating character. Not somebody I would want to do business with, but without a doubt an effective President. I'm continually impressed how much he's got going at his age. Not a man in great shape yet has the energy for all of this. Policy wise I can only say what the stock market is saying, and so far that has been good. Evidently something is happening with the economy that is positive. All of the left/right stuff is becoming increasingly irrelevant to me. It's just never ending noise.

Denmark took Greenland from us 400 years ago, so they get no sympathy from me!

Hard to say what my favorite band is. I feel that Pink Floyd, if we include Roger Waters solo, made the better music. But I can't just dismiss GN'R either. I say that because whereas I'm always interested in unreleased GN'R stuff, I have zero interest in Pink Floyd or Roger Waters box sets, or any other band for that matter. If GN'R was my favorite band by a clear margin that might make sense, but it's not, so I have no idea why that is.

Perhaps it is because I enjoy the individual talent of Axl, Slash and Duff. But with PF and Waters it is the whole that matters. I'm not particularly impressed by their guitar or vocals skills. Waters was ace on the vocals in the 80s, but that was a very fleeting thing, not raw talent like Axl Rose. With Axl I am interested in his voice in all eras, with Roger it is just a couple of albums in the early to mid 80s.

Great set though. Would like to own it just for the sake of it. But probably won't bother since I will never listen to it.

Yeah, the old studios cared about money, but they also had decades and decades of talent in their ranks. Those guys knew how to make a movie. Even movies that I considered average are head and shoulders over new productions.

Just look at the first 15 seconds of this clip. Great directing, great score and incredible acting by John Travolta. It's not just the facial and eye expressions, but the rhythm of it. It's musical the way he reacts. Absolutely brilliant.

It's those little things, those little touches of art that is completely missing from a modern production. There is just nothing there. A highly sanitized product. And that's before I even mention the politics that ruin everything.
