Whenever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government; that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights.

  1. The man who fell to earth to play our piano
    Hi,

    Don’t we just love a good mystery, coming out of the sea with labels cut out of his clothes, mute but able to draw and play some good piano. The things asylumseekers have to do these days.

    Well this one got noticed allright, by now he’s reached a world audience, tomorrow invitations to late night shows , a book/music /movie contract, next week bodygards , next month a recital in the black & whitehouse, next year proclaimed to be the (anti) christ, (he appeared just after JP II had died).

    Looking at the picture at the mbc bullitin http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7871115/ , White hair a bit of a younger tim robbins , serious look, selfaware and looking back at us. I’m sure the marriage proposals are allready flooding in.

    ” do unto others as you would have them do unto you “

    1. You think he is an asylum seeker?
      Gee I never thought of that.

      Well done if he is.I totally approve.

      Of course if he was in Oz he would be deported anyway, just for not having labels on his clothes.

      It doesn’t take much to be deported here.

    2. piano guy
      This may be totally disrespectful, but since hearing about this story I’ve been unable to shake the nagging suspicion that this is a big hoax. Just imagine, a struggling pianist, unable to get the attention he needs, tells his friends to be quiet about his identity, and then tears the labels off his clothes and turns up on a beach somewhere, appearing unable to speak. The media grabs it, and viola, a first album.

      1. artists and the mind
        Some struggling artists are proud of their mental problems, as it gives them a competitive edge. The art world is rough, many good artists do not get the respect and income they deserve. In that way, it is remarkably like any other business.

        But I hope this guy will recover, and people let him enjoy his music, and give him some recognition too. Everyone deserves that.

  2. I love those flying snakes!
    Wow fancy having a snake come flying out of the air at you!

    I read somewhere that the EVP sounds are coming from baby monitors in the area, but that hardly accounts for what some of the voices say.
    Referring to the people concerned.

    I love the story about the anti-biotic beer.Sounds like a good idea to me.

    Thanks for the links Greg,they manage to keep me off the streets and out of the pubs.
