Something a bit lighter after yesterday’s entry.
There’s something about my age – a mixture of dangerous nostalgia, searching for lost youth (I like to think of it as disappearing rather than completely lost!), and a modicum of disposable cash.
On one of our shopping trips to Newcastle a couple of weeks ago, I wandered into the Virgin Megastore to have a look at CD’s – OK I was never going to just look. Anyway they were selling some CDs at 2 for £10. Well, I had a tenner in my pocket – so how could I resist?
After a brief glance at the selection I knew that choice would be a problem. So many albums that I wouldn’t have dreamt of buying when they were first released, but now …. Well, I went for a safe choice - Who’s Next by The Who. It contained a handful of classics – Baba O’Riley; Behind Blue Eyes (my favourite Who song) and some previously un-released material. As soon as I listened to it I understood why it hadn’t been released before!
My other choice was a bit less safe… But it was 57 tracks for a fiver!! I mean you don’t get better value than that. Yes, I chose The Ramones Anthology!! And it’s great. More diverse than I remembered (no, really). It’s just perfect music for the gym - although the idiotic grin on my face seems to alarm people.
What can I say? Hey ho, Let’s GO!
(OK HTM, I know that it’s payback time - bring it on!)

Loved their version of "What A Wonderful World". Not sure about "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue" though!
It's strange the way they looked liked the respectable ones when they had their ill-fated episode with Phil Spector!
Far be it from me to criticise anyone else's taste in music!
"Alarmed by your idiotic grin"!?!? This is the first thing I have ever read that has made me contemplate going to a gym.
