Nope - no mention at all about EC's Secret Songs anywhere. Im curious about how it will turn out.

And yes, a lot of activists are busy burning cars and throwing bricks and its just down the road :roll:

Moby Dick. Strange book. The story is great and exciting but half the time it's descriptions of ships, birds, waves, food and everything one must use in killling a whale. Very distracting and I can't see how that part should picture the American society...

Music and films in Denmark are always rated 1-6 stars. I think it's the same in Sweden and Norway. In Sweden they often use a dice

A lot of people did like the concert it seemed but many lost interest. I can imagine her being very good with a band or at a smaller venue.
She joined her brother on stage later on.

It was her and a guitar which is fine, but not in an open tent. You could almost her music from the other concerts at the same time, and the songs she played was very downbeat. People lost interest pretty fast. So not her fault but still too quiet a concert for the time and place.

The Sharpest Thorn (is it me or does the first line sound a lot like the first line of Tramp the dirt down?) I don't know about that, but there is something about it that brings Country Darkness to mind. Hmm. I kind of felt a bit of "Any King's Shilling" in "The Sharpest Thorn"....
