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!
As a study-abroad-student in Germany, I lived with a hardcore Prodigy fan from Freiburg. The daily dose got a bit old as the months wore on.
ReplyDeleteI liked the above. It was a good song on many fronts. However, I wouldn't listen to it every day!
DeleteI like this track too. Everyone who knows him is very shocked by his death and sadly his wife was away in Japan at the time. She must be devastated.
ReplyDeleteI thought she'd left him.
DeletePerhaps that's why she was in Japan.
DeleteThere were many hotter guys than him in the 90s but perhaps not so musically influential as him. Vale Keef.
ReplyDeleteI liked his dancing. He was an original.
DeleteI have a Keith Flint story. When my workshop was in town, I was a bit bored one day and decided to see if I could get a bit of mortar to stick to the ceiling by flicking it up hard with a trowel. Just as I made the upward movement Keith Flint walked by and mistook my arm movement for an adoring wave, so he gave me a friendly wave back. The mortar stuck and would be there today if they had not demolished my workshop.
ReplyDeleteI did once see someone I didn't know waving at me, so I waved back. It was only then that I realised he was waving at someone behind me. I walked away feeling like a right pratt.
DeleteNot my music taste but a sad story . Such a shame
ReplyDeleteI probably agree, but he was a very original thinker and performer, and I always like that.
