How can one actually use words to do it? Well if I had to, the word 'Awsomeness', just like Barney would say it really comes to mind. For those who have no idea what I'm yapping about, I was in Westerpark, Amsterdam on July 1st to watch Radiohead perform live. People keep on asking me, was it worth it? Every single penny sir.
My whole Euro trip was awesome as well. Still waiting for Fairol to come back with 'em pictures. You see, my camera got cocked up on the 2nd day of the trip. Don't worry, the photos will come! Well, selected ones anyway *GRIN* (like Yeh said, whatever happens in Amsterdam, stays in Amsterdam).
After the whole trip, I made a discovery when I came back. I fell in love with
Stereophonics's Language, Sex, Violence, Other? album. Their first song which introduced the band to me was their cover of 'Handbags & Gladrags', which was done brilliantly. It's funny how I never took notice of them before. Here's the lyrics to the song:
STEREOPHONICS - HANDBAGS & GLADRAGS
-------
Ever seen a blind man cross the road? trying to make the other side Ever seen a young girl growing old? trying to make herself a bride So what becomes of you my love When they have finally stripped you off The handbags and the gladrags That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you Once I was a young man And all I thought I had to do was smile well You are still a young girl And you've bourne everything in style So once you think you're in you're out 'Cause you don't mean a single thing without The handbags and the gladrags That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you Sing a song of six-pence for your sake And drink a bottle full of rye Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake And bake 'em all in a pie They told me you missed school today So what I suggest you just throw them all away The handbags and the gladrags That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy so you missed school today So what I suggest you just throw them all away The handbags and the gladrags That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you------
and indeed folks, what does happen when we're stripped off all our handbags and gladrags?
I'm gonna sleep on it. G.N
