(Using all 150 allowed words in my
letter to the editor of this week.)
In
the Press’s Letter of the Week, Nevin
Tait says Lou Reed must not be glorified in death as he died from his hard
living.
Um,
he was 71 years old, Nevin!
Heaven
help us if we all should have such productive, exciting lives as Lou did, inspiring
a generation, if that lifestyle should kill us at the tender young age of 71.
In
other news, under new health and safety regulation in France – that’s the home
of wine - it is now illegal to be commercially filmed enjoying alcohol, or show
alcohol in a festive light; and soon only low sugar content jam will be allowed
in the UK. Wowserism is regulating our lives to existences that aren’t worth
living.
In
disrespecting a great career, Nevin’s letter was mean spirited, and
as joyless as the society he would consign us to.
Cheers
Lou, you good, wild thing.
Well, the best that can be said for Lou Reed's music is that it competed on merit.
ReplyDeleteYes France and the EU are beyond parody, and as for low sugar jam, why not be honest and call the new suguar free complient subsance something different - a partial fruit spread - or similar - not Jam.
Hey, we make jam with as much sugar as we like, it tastes great, and we are happy to share it with whomsoever will come.
Hehe.

Jam is not jam without sugar.
