Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
This dates me, but I still have the Fishbone cassette tape with this on it lying around somewhere. Brilliant song, brilliant band.
ReplyDeleteI think this was the only song of theirs that came my way. I loved it then, and love it now.
DeleteThank you Cro, happy Saturday to you. I couldn't watch the video for long; maybe too oomph for me, gives me motion sickness.
ReplyDeleteGreetings Maria x
A lot of Ska is very high energy; that's why it's my favourite.
DeleteSorry, but this did not float my boat, but was amazed at the energy of the singer!
ReplyDeleteYou can't please all of the people all of the time.
DeleteFun! I just wish my feet could perform the dance which the music puts into my head!
ReplyDeleteMe too; I used to be capable, but alas...
DeleteIt woke my cats up and one fled the house. I couldn't really take it this morning myself either.
ReplyDeleteShame on your cats, and shame on you.
DeleteHigh energy, indeed. I've never heard of Fishbone. It kind of reminds me of "The English Beat" - another 80's group.
ReplyDeleteThis is a contrasting post to the one I just read over at Tom's blog. -Jenn
I'm quite surprised I came across it too, as I was living in the wilds of France at the time with no radio or TV.
DeleteI have not heard that before. Bit it is definitely fun and would no doubt knock me for a loop if I tried to dance the way it feels!
ReplyDeleteIt gets you going in the morning. Worth another watch.
