Ther...I've already picked tomorrow's song!<br /><br />There's a difference between having heroes and being really pleased and proud about something/someone. If we have to have leaders there are some people I'd rather have up there than others! We watched very similar documentaries about George W and Obama in the past year or so (both made before the men were presidents) and my goodness the differences right across the board. You watch the Dubya one and think 'bloody hell who'd leave that guy in charge of a jellybean?' and Obama's...well, it was quite different. <br /><br />xRachel Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803852725693518924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-25256852112250916792010-06-29T19:45:20.960+01:002010-06-29T19:45:20.960+01:00I watched it live, so heard IJCTSILY in full for t...I watched it live, so heard IJCTSILY in full for the first time since about 1986 - the ending is pure cheese. :os And poor Michael Eavis! How obvious was it that he found it impossible to say "no" to Stevie?<br /><br />I do like LL - apparently the intelligentsia who comment at the Guardian insist we should hate her, but I think she'd be great company for an all-day pubday on a Sunday afternoon.<br /><br />I can understand the BO-love-a-thon. But my inbuilt never-have-heroes attitude does object slightly. But one thing is certain: Stevie means it - no pretence with him.<br /><br />It's just occurred to me that I've only got a handful of songs from Songs in the Key of Life on my ipod - needs to be sorted! Just need to find the CD now...deemikayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01421704728979191339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-41810717892421146552010-06-29T19:27:00.829+01:002010-06-29T19:27:00.829+01:00Yes, it was was fab, fab and more fab. As we watch...Yes, it was was fab, fab and more fab. As we watched it recorded I have to admit I fastforwarded through 'I just called...' though. And I covered my ears for some of 'Happy Birthday'...but even so I loved the set. Did you watch the interview? I thought Lauren Laverne did a great job (must be nervewracking interviewing a star like him live). Radcliffe is OK too (in small doses) but I really like LL.<br /><br />You can understand the Obama love too with Stevie, can't you? I'm reading Obama's 'Dreams from my Father' just now - it's very interesting, very human, well-written too. <br /><br />xRachel Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803852725693518924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-68623488390549076362010-06-29T19:04:26.906+01:002010-06-29T19:04:26.906+01:00PS I agree with your comment at Baroque in Hackney...PS I agree with your comment at Baroque in Hackney...deemikayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01421704728979191339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-6998635460040499042010-06-29T19:04:12.584+01:002010-06-29T19:04:12.584+01:00He kept to mainly big, "up" songs... but...He kept to mainly big, "up" songs... but it was all fab, wasn't it? He even made me forgive I Just Called To Say I love you!
