As we career toward hell in the proverbial handbasket, fate dealt another blow earlier today. I know, stock market's are crashing and there are wars on etc, but nobody told me that Malcolm Allan had shut down. That's my (breakfast) haggis dealer to you or any of my homies that have stopped by in recent years. Now I know how you potheads feel when your connection goes down but never fear, I'll pull myself out of the tailspin and will find another. In the interests of "normal service"...
There's a pile of new music lying here ready to check out. However, am I doing that? No, I'm not. I pulled out Bachman Turner Overdrive's "Not Fragile" and am reminiscing about peceived better days. When I saw them in Glasgow, Thin Lizzy opened. It was fucking great. Big lumberjacks wielding wailing guitars. Rock'n'roll was much less complicated back then. I mean, the MC5 were OK but ye cannae beat the real thing eh, Rich? Ha ha.
So maybe I'll check out some of this recent hootch later, or maybe I'll regress further and pull out some more "back catalogue". Time will indeed tell.

BTO : brings me back to the old (70's) days, when I like them - never heard them since - so, knowing me : it's a sign that I won't like them today, nobody's perfect, eheh
I recently saw a self-perceived "critic" refer to BTO as "Canadian soft-rock." That statement, I've never read anything more profoundly incorrect, right there may be a better metric to measure our proximity to doomsday, than all the wars, financial disasters, ice caps melting, etc.
Eddie Flowers gave BTO a rave review in O REXTASY so they must be good! At least they knew enough to rip off "Sweet Jane" before Wayne County! And if you're short onna haggis, just find a roadkill and stuff it with oatmeal! I mean, how simple is that???
I really feel for you. That's bad news indeed. I've still got fond memories of a Haggis breakfast the morning after some Amy Rigby's gig. I hope you find some alternative presto.

Gaun' the BTO!
Chris, any more remarks like that about oor national dish and I'll be sending Mel Gibson round with his stunt claymore...
Yan, fear not. Alternative supplies are being investigated. It was a shock but I'm (just about)over it.
Okay, how about these 'uns!
Why do Scotsmen have beards? Because their brothers leave home and take the razor! Why do Scotsmen marry idiots? Because they're "half-off" and what Scotsman can resist a bargain like that?!?
Who sez Vaudeville's dead?
Whoever it was obviously encountered this level of wit and repartee. Laugh? I thought my nappy would never dry.
