How far does humanity as a collective have the right to impose its culture and future upon any as yet untouched civilisations? The morality to ask those who have the honour to guide themselves to the point where if they want to share the same path that they should do it with a helping hand, not be forced to do so or supply their lives in the profit not of their making.

It could be argued that the world needs Black Star Riders like it needs to bang together the heads of those who are quite happy to stoke up the fires of war in the Ukraine. The chances of the latter happening are about as likely as One Direction suddenly throwing their lot into the realms of Heavy Metal, the former much easier to believe; especially with the band’s second album, The Killer Instinct, being unleashed and ready to destroy any doom mongers the planet is hiding up its rigid sleeve.
I can’t think of anything worse to find on a gravestone
than the words, born, died, and nothing in between,
save two dates and the inscription dearly departed…
…is that truly all that is left behind once life leaves
the departed behind.
If I stand before my gravestone now, a mean feat and fate indeed
as I would like to think I would go out fighting a bear somewhere
in the Canadian outback, armed only with a blunt potato peeler,
an old yellowed and damp from the abundance of snow that

Even now there is a kind of reverence attached to finding a good Rock pub and seeing in the corner a juke box. Shuffling over, walking past the possible bruising and certain derogatory tones should your choices fill the place with ire or at the very least, a tut from the resident barman who will give you a blank look all night when you try to order a beer, you take a cursory glance at the music on offer and finding a pound in amongst the lint and fluff, make your well-armed choice.

There are films that offer so much in the small afforded time that a trailer entices you with that it’s possible to get caught up in the hype and growing excitement that comes along with every new release. The trouble with that at times is that it can lead you down the path of slighted and unrealistic expectation, the trailer never quite matching up to the heights you already have played out in your imagination.

It sometimes depends on which part of the country you go to, which individual you speak to about the people of Liverpool and their passions, to which possible answer you receive. For some less-well informed people the thought of someone from the city protesting is perhaps a way of life, to others they would arguably feel a swell of pride in that one set of people in England fights against injustice with good humour, good voice but with the wonderful undercurrent of installed, controlled emotion and anger that wrongs made against one in the city affect everyone.
I was there on the day that the Devil was kidnapped by God.
I wasn’t sure exactly which one it was
as they all look the same to me
but I know she had form as a hijacker and usurper of religions past
and now was after the biggest bruiser of the lot to aid in a deity war
that would confuse humanity.
Bundled into the back of a long black hearse,
I hid out of sight as the Devil kicked and cursed and bemoaned

There is a bind that ties the U.K. to North America that goes beyond the physical appreciation of its common and often misused language, more so than the rugged terrain and building blocks of democracy and historical values, it is the appreciation for the vast majority of times, in the importance of the two countries similar music tastes. Perhaps it goes further than that, it is interwoven in the thought of its ability to sow the seeds of its Celtic folk traditions to those over the edge of the Atlantic basin and the lost memories of the places that surround England, the beating conscious of artistic thought and the long established alternative view generated by hundreds of years rule from a pile of land that was once a monastery.

Nobody can snap a finger and make you better; nobody can get inside your head and see the grief that assists the pain that the body feels. When every movement feels like torture, even the briefest glimpse of something bright and hopeful only serves to remind what was lost. It is almost the perfect summing up for Jennifer Aniston’s latest film, Cake.
