Keeping time is essential, always running behind the clock leaves you stressed, being punctual is the height of good manners; such is the demand of etiquette, a hangover from previous generations that didn’t understand the occasion is sometimes too overwhelming for some and for them to process, that the individual is not regimented by time.

Art should never be frozen, stuck in a place in which dust crawls and multiplies over the icy cage in which the artist’s endeavour is placed by the well-meaning and the loved-up into a place of no change, of never being able to grow, to adapt, to find another level in which hopefully the art in question will come to mean something different, something more.

Time is a construct in which we find ourselves filling in days with observations and damage limitation, with pursuits and love, and wherever possible with belief, a belief that what we create will be at least appreciated, if not valued. Time Flies when you’re having fun, however when that time disappears into the ether, a last salute before it is enveloped by unquenchable fog, what we find remaining is a truth, a social reality steeped in a language which we wish to embrace. We cannot fathom Time, we can only live in its shadow and pray we make the most of it and create something beautiful.

Christmas comes but once a year, and for many that is one time too many, a season of excess, of superficiality, of overload and mental health issues as each year we forget that the point of it all is to reflect, to be thankful and look forward to the brighter days ahead. For some the abundance of good cheer perhaps masks the feeling of loneliness, of regret, the glut of merriment a shell in which we crawl to see us through dark times.

Fashion, like conscious rebellion, goes around in Circles, what is popular and considered absolute authority one day, is rebutted and rebuked until a new generation comes along and finds their sympathies firmly entrenched with an older thought, old clothes, new perspective.
What is fashionable today somehow becomes a renaissance figure tomorrow, the resurgence in popularity that comes along is to be expected, but not always one that surfaces against the tide of expectation and delivery. It takes a genuine thought of speaking out between the old and new and ploughing a path less visited in which to grab the attention of those you wish to have by your side for the battle ahead.

You should never blame a set of artists for wanting to change direction in how their work is viewed, everything must adapt, all must be like the waves, the tide and the shifting sands, secrets must reveal themselves, unknown coves must explored, and yet the audience must also understand that in the pursuit of change, of natural revolution, the distinction between the admiration of what lay before and the possible intrigue of what lays ahead can reveal a chasm, an almost unbridgeable divide -it is only a theory, but one that can cause problems down the line when the artist turns their head back to what went before.

There is no greater recognition of the art than that which reflects on its greatness, whilst looking at it from a different angle, of gaining a new perspective.
In an age where music is being redefined by the artist to include remixes, and in some cases what can only be described as adulterations, to the original cause, it is perhaps an idea in which can be seen as beautifully engaging, or arguably bemoaned by others as art for arts’ sake, and one that brought a new dynamic, an innovative flavour to the Liverpool Empire stage, as King Crimson brought their talent to an audience, which for many would have been their first live undertaking.

We only see the clarity of the defining moment, we have a vague sense of what may have happened before, the prelude to the final act, but the aftermath we find perhaps dull, the event has moved on and we, as human beings, only have the attention span in which to express our opinion in which makes sense to us.

A new generation, a new audience, one that gets transplanted out of 1980s Britain and into the heart of 21st Century Chicago politics and undercurrent of American crime, Widows might not have been one that its enormous fanbase might have ever thought needed updating but it is one that works, that makes the absolute use of the grime and seemingly untouchable attitude of modern politics and its strange bedfellow of corruption, criminality and violence.

It is regarded as bad form to not enjoy and fall in love with an animated film, whether by the masters of the art in Disney or Pixar, or through to the dominant Japanese Studio Ghibli, or even timeless shorts created by the Warner Brothers, it is considered almost reverential to praise the genre from the highest peek when viewing a film in which thousands of hours of work have been painstakingly thought out and applied.
