The song I\u2019ve sent you this week ....... I wrote and recorded as the B side to Beatle City which you played a while back\u2026.it was a vinyl single which the then Merseyside County Council Tourism Dept commissioned from me. It sold well and I think you\u2019ll enjoy the sentiment.\n \nThere has been a bit of an outcry regarding Cheryl Cole\u2019s \u201clive\u201d performance on the X Factor\u2026..fortunately I didn\u2019t see it\u2026.it was alleged she was miming\u2026but they deny it\u2026COURSE SHE WAS MIMING\u2026SHE CAN\u2019T SING!!!....it\u2019s as if it\u2019s a big surprise\u2026.The X Factor proves you can kid most of the people most of the time\u2026\n \nIt\u2019s Children In Need time again\u2026.I find all this stuff somewhat annoying year after year\u2026.Heavens above I hate the thought of ANY kiddie injured or starving\u2026.I help run a children\u2019s charity myself every week\u2026but when I hear the talentless Terry Wogan bleating on about how \xa32 can save a life etc\u2026\u2026.why not have a collection from Jonathan Ross,Wogan,Beckham,all the politicians in their mansions,all the footballers\u2026and those in charge of the forthcoming rail link\u2026etc\u2026.PROBLEM SOLVED !!....the likes of these could solve the problem and not even miss the money.\n \nI was on about \u201cnobility\u201d last week\u2026.I think a lot of this \u201cwe\u2019re above it all\u201d attitude is on it\u2019s way out\u2026..I\u2019ve always disliked the Golf Club mentality where everyone grovels around the captain\u2026and sailing clubs with the\u201dCommodore\u201d etc\u2026.my band was a function band so I saw this sort of snoberry at close range from masonics to every kind of society\u2026.I naturally went along with it because I was getting PAID but I always found it hard to believe that some,not all,of these types really think they are above everyone else\u2026.however as the generations change these organisations are struggling to survive\u2026.local golf clubs here are offering a weeks golf for 15 quid\u2026.looks like modern youngsters wont put up with pomposity\u2026.good for them.\n \n.At the moment I seem to be in demand\u2026.I have been approached by an American film company who are making a documentary on North Wales and want to use my Llanfair P.G. song\u2026no problems there as long as I appear in the credits\u2026.I was also approached by a record company who want to put out the songs I wrote for wrestler Adrian Street in the 80\u2019s\u2026they want to put an album out on coloured vinyl\u2026.I\u2019ve sent them copies of the masters (after brushing off the cobwebs)\u2026so that\u2019s as far as I want to be involved\u2026.so seeing as I have all the songs (22 of them) I have decided to bring out a CD album myself\u2026.I\u2019ve been in touch with Adrian and he\u2019s sent me a load of hilarious photos which I will use on a promo video for YouTube\u2026he told me that a drama company want to do a musical of his life story\u2026.is the world ready for this?
