Time After Time

This is a story I began a long time ago. It's the first non-DDD/IAI HP fic I've come up with in about a year (really) and today is the most appropriate day to post, it now being Jim Morrison's sixtieth birthday and the twenty-third anniversary of the murder of John Lennon. You will see why. This is not meant to be high art. It is not meant to change the world. It is just an idea I had a long time ago and wrote out yesterday. It is perhaps, a dream I once had.

Give me a D! Give me an 'Arkness! Time After Time Part II

Just got done watching the Carling Homecoming concert by the Darkness.

I am becoming mucho in favour of these guys. Not least when lead singer/guitarist man Justin Hawkins says things like these:

On what he demands from bands he listens to: "People in tight trousers for a start. Willingness to display the top half of one's chest. Be prepared to sweat, work for your audience" (this is not a wholly accurate transcription cos I wasn't paying him full attention at the time.

Then the guy who plays the bass, Frankie Poullain says "There's always been something ridiculous about good rock music anyway."

Then Justin's brother Dan (guitarist) says of smashing up one's guitar: "We take our music very seriously... what we don't do is take ourselves seriously."

I think I have finally found some people who might help me save rock and roll. They're not Led Zeppelin and although the Brian Mayesque guitar sound rocks my socks, Justin's falsetto gets dead annoying sometimes. They're not perfect and they're not poets. Not yet. I shall give them time and a little faith and hope that these guys will help resurrect rock and roll. Or at least keep it stable until I come along.

Also, I now want a clear perspex guitar.

A birthday and an anniversary.

I was going to write a long, thoughtful post about today, it being both the 60th birthday of Jim Morrison and the 23rd anniversary of the murder of John Lennon. Yet I find myself only repeating what I have said many times before. So I will simply say this:
