But sometimes the rush of the dream if only momentary is contentment enough. As for me I think I’ll skip the crowds this year. Maybe I’ll host a band — perhaps some heavy metal Buddhists called Zen Leppelin. No matter I won’t be missing out. The wave of adrenaline is contagious and I will savor the vicarious thrill that comes when so much hope crams this town for a happy little while. Spike Gillespie is the author of several books including the forthcoming ‘Quilty as Charged: Undercover in the Material World’ about the contemporary quilting scene.

ldies should never move out of the dinosaur era. I should be comfortably unanachronistic playing the station in my ’57 DeSoto as it drags a mailbox behind it before I bash it into a supermarket display window. We need a bastion of conservatism shaking its cane at the dozens of stations full of the latest gangster rapping and heavy metal death music that the kids enjoy so much when they’re busy messing with my lawn. That means: no synthesizers you punks. I’m sorry but you won’t change me; it’s what I think. I can’t fight this feeling deep inside of me?The argument could be made that as time marches forward our conception of what constitutes an “oldie” must necessarily expand. What was an oldie- “Jailhouse Rock” say–twenty years ago is now an old-oldie while your favorite Bachman-Turner verdrive song not an oldie then is now well over thirty years old just as old as “Jailhouse Rock” was.

(From Western Daily Press) Nestled in a quiet corner of Devonport is a building filled with men and women who have seen rock-bottom. They are Plymouth’s recovering drug addicts and alcoholics – the kind of people nobody likes to talk about much. Many of them have witnessed horrifying things lived in terrible conditions and some have come very close to death. But now they are getting the help they need to turn their lives around. The Quay Project offers everything from counselling to parenting classes to music lessons. Most of all say its visitors it gives people a reason to get up in the mornings. “When you’re using drugs your head’s all over the place” explains John McMillan aged 21 and a recovering addict.
