Some Roy links

Anyway, after delving into his photo/auotboigraphy, here and there, I was amazed to catch a glimpse of the spine twinkling at me, when I was horizontal on the couch. Roy has done a succinct review of himself!

For those of you that haven't got a copy, here it is :

"He is against all flimsy declarations of war, most violence, oily cartels, tabloid sensibilities, death,god, the WTO, bank practice, the death penalty, stealth tax, bus fares, humiliation, despotism, council tax, Blairism, Crispian, segregation, insurance rip-offs, prejudice, imperialism, semolina, inflated presenters, unattractive egotism, injustice, unfeasible Hollywood, vice-presidents and anything which tries to prevent him from getting off.

He's for getting out of it, shagging, working hard, making it up as he's going along, history, laughing, kind drugs, art, happiness, song, comedy, moments, dreams, cool, kind voyeurism, Tracy, temporarily losing it, finding it unexpectedly, love, aviation, City, humility, W.C.Fields, eroticism, Miles Davis, the wisdom of trees, photography, art deco, Nelson Mandela, music, Pablo, birds, loose behaviour, wine, Jacquetta, life, poetry, animals, the future, cricket, women and countless other fantastic entertainments."

I don't know about you but when I typed all that in and re-read it it made me realise how such a positive force Roy has been for me facing the negative. It's a state of postive mind of everything around you, for us to extract before it's too late. Or even later...if there is a later?

[Notes: The refs I didn't understand were : 'Crispian'; 'prevent him from getting off'; 'unfeasible Hollywood','art deco'. And I suppose despoticism covers nepotism, and imperialism covers monarchism etc.etc....]

Anyway.... The book has pride of place on my coffee table and if you ask Science Friction nicely you may even get a signed copy!

** "Finally, not least among the highlights is the third verse of 'The Spirit Lives'. In my opinion HQ is probably the best record I have made to date and stands up to close scrutiny"
