Isolation … is not good for me
In 2010 I saw Fool’s Garden live. The occasion was a Uriah Heep concert, organised by a company celebrating their 100th anniversary (Alpina, Ober-Ramstadt). Fool’s Garden had one world–wide hit, Lemon Tree. And this one line immediately resonated in my head when I heard today’s prompt:
isolation – is not good for me
Incidentally, Fool’s Garden addressed the one-hit-wonder phenomenon at this concert. Do they mind that they are always asked to play this one song? Do they get sick of playing Lemon Tree?

Without this song they would have never seen the world like they did, they would have never had a tour of Japan (they had more tours, I’m sure, but “Japan” stuck in my mind). They would probably not be able to work and live comfortably as fulltime musicians for the rest of their lives.

Is that a steering wheel on your lobe?
This rather large sculpture of Jürgen Goertz stands in front of the Rhein-Neckar-Kreis Hospital in Weinheim. Her earring is not the only impressive thing about her. But I’ve always been an earring woman. It’s the one piece of jewellery I never leave the house without it; in fact, I feel decidedly naked if I do forget it like once in a blue moon.

The mural is provocative
but was the action of the police provocative enough to warrant the mural? FOWC with Fandango: Provocative
Perfectly legible – but comprehensible?

Fan Collaboration
These two Springbok fans – spotted over ten years ago at the Rugby World Cup in Newcastle – make different statements, depending who of them is on the left side. In Afrikaans their t-shirts read either “screw them” or “they’re nuts”. NB: These are not … Continue reading Fan Collaboration
