b'Yes it\'s bonfire night again and already the neanderthals are roaming the streets throwing bricks at firemen and paramedics "WHO ARE TRYING TO SAVE LIVES!!".....it\'s beyond me....and if the firemen threw bricks back they would lose their jobs and end up in court....while we have the stupid human rights legislation this will never change......simple answer ban the whole thing and in a few years it won\'t even be missed....except by the fat cats who make their fortunes out of fools who watch their money go up in smoke.\\n\\n2.Also some boneheads have made an effigy of Grenfell Tower... which was the subject of a serious fire earlier in the year... and set it on fire while laughing and put the stupidity on the internet....which has naturally upset those who lost loved ones in the fire at the time and are still grieving.......this has been constantly featured on the national news...WHY?....all the media are doing is giving these lowlifes publicity and giving other brainless morons ideas..and I doubt if it is actually a crime.......by sensationalising this sort of sick behaviour to fill their news programmes does not help the situation in any way....as far as I\'m concerned the media are part of the problems we have today...ask Cliff Richard.\\n\\n3.I was interested in a news item about a woman who fell down a trap door in a shop....despite a warning being shouted to her...the shop was prosecuted under the health and safety legislation....the woman was injured and awarded 330 grand compensation....of which she received something like a few thousand after legal fees etc....the rest going to the legal profession for the wonderful job they did....these are the hidden thieves of the country.....I was recently talking to a lady who took her dog to the vet to have its teeth sorted out....\\xa3300....even if it took three hours that aint bad money for a mornings work.....this needs sorting....being a vet or a solicitor is a licence to print money these days....................what is ridiculous is you have a vet for all the nations animal lovers and next door is a butcher....say no more.\\n\\n4.Exactly 10 years ago to the day was the first concert I played backed by my personal guitar hero...James Burton....I have admired him since 1958 when he played on Ricky Nelson\'s hits and was one of the inspirations to us all when we were at school.....he has played for greats like Frank Sinatra....Jerry Lee....Roy Orbison...The Monkeys....and Elvis during his Vegas years...and many more....so to share the stage with him while I sang an hour of Ricky Nelson classics was somewhat surreal....I have played in bands since 1961 when I left school but this was definitely my finest hour...........I have done 8 concerts with him since but the first one was the killer....he is a great guy and we became friends over the years.......to sing Hello Mary Lou and get the same solo as on the record doesn\'t get much better.....and on Elvis\'s version of The Wonder of You he says "Play it James".......I\'ve done that as well.\\n\\n5.The song this week is from my album Doowop Days which takes you back to the golden days of rock and roll....it is a tribute to Ricky Nelson.....which is apt this week....I have utilised titles from his hits as his love songs brought us through our teenage young love problems back then.'
