A man  who struggled with depression and drugs, but fought back through the hard times to become one of the Greats of music...

Update: A little over a year ago I’d begain working through a major set back in my music life, both here and on the stage. I pretended I was fine, but the music, (for me) had stopped. Hearing the orchestra and my own voice is essential. Hearing Loss 2026. More to come❤️

The moment the warden in The Shawshank Redemption is stunned to discover Andy has escaped through a secret tunnel — it’s a shock that feels both chilling and exhilarating. The entire film builds toward this revelation, and when it arrives, Andy’s brilliance, patience, and unyielding desire for freedom shine through. It’s a scene that leaves viewers with goosebumps and a lasting sense of awe.

Memories 🥰

Good morning 😳

May the 4th be with you friends ❤️🛸

The Dire Straits song “Sultans of Swing” was born on an ordinary night in 1977, in a nearly empty pub in south London. Mark Knopfler, who was teaching English at the time and had just formed the band with his brother David, John Illsley, and Pick Withers, went inside to shelter from the rain. In a corner of the venue, a group of aging Dixieland jazz musicians was playing with total dedication for just a handful of drunk patrons who weren’t even paying attention to them. The band sounded mediocre, dressed in outdated suits and with no audience to applaud them. But at the end of their performance, the singer announced in all seriousness: “Good evening and thank you… We are the Sultans of Swing.” Knopfler found the contrast between the humble, dreary scene and that grandiose, pompous name quite amusing. He went home and that very night began writing the lyrics, describing those passionate musicians who played for the love of music, regardless of whether anyone was listening. He first composed the music on a National Steel guitar, but the song truly came to life when he played it on his newly purchased 1961 Fender Stratocaster: the riffs and chord changes flowed effortlessly. “Sultans of Swing” was one of the tracks on the demo they recorded on a shoestring budget at Pathway Studios. They sent it to the radio, and DJ Charlie Gillett put it on rotation, which piqued a record label’s interest. It became the first single from Dire Straits’ self-titled debut album in 1978. Although it took a few months to take off, it ended up being a worldwide hit and launched the band to stardom. One of the greatest songs of all time.

Fake party names designed to deceive voters and harvest preferences. Authorisations that don't even name the political party. @electionsvic has a history of chasing the frivolous but remain silent when it matters most. Victoria's electoral laws have become a farce.

They don't make cartoons like this anymore 😛🎬
