Leonard Cohen

His new album is excellent, I wonder if he is just going as himself for guising.

BTW I know I am a grouch but what happened to Halloween being for kids? All these adults dressed up......bah.

    Do kids still go guising?
    Just got back from Cochabamba (Bol) and Halloween is huge there. Much bigger than here. Maybe its because of their Day of the Deid.

      Sadly they don't call it guising anymore, though here in Greenock they're doing their best to keep the old local word Galoshans going. It's all trick or treat now and it's big in that it's all over the shops - an excuse to sell nonsense like Halloween tinsel and banners etc etc. All the kids wear ready-made costumes, but the face-painting I'd have to agree, is pretty impressive.

      Here's a wee tune for Halloween

      Best guising 'party piece' I ever heard was George Kane burping the national anthem. He might've been related to Penicuik's premier crime family but he made my Dad laugh and even give him money instead of sweeties so that says something.

    Thankfully, a wee spell of Country music restored my equilibrium.

Alex Kapranos & folks. can't remember who else ABC February . Roddy Woomble here in The Beacon some time soon. And of course there's July 9th when I will be standing several miles away in Hyde Park while Norrie gets up close and personal with Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks.

No-one else knew who he was, and I didn't know he was coming till I sat the kids down and turned round to see our visiting singers.

      and thanks, Billy. My challenge is to not get lost in the Trongate and end up in a bus lane. Going to try Glen's tip of coming straight down High Street so if I do get lost it's his fault.

      Stop before you reach the river. Just noticed George Harrison's triple being re-released at £84. I order it for around £4 from Virgin mail order when it came out. After some time they said they didn't have and I asked for a refund which came in the form of an unsigned cheque. I eventually got a cheque signed by Richard Branson which I wish I'd kept.

    Rab was brilliant. Came on in an eye-watering striped suit and accompanied by a full band - cello, banjo, guitars, fiddle, the lot and his voice seems, if anything, stronger in spite of the tonsillar cancer of a couple of years ago. So glad I went after a last minute decision - when I booked the ticket it came up with 1 ticket left - I assumed that meant only single seats, but then it was unallocated cabaret seating so I think I did actually get the last ticket.

    And I didn't get lost. Or have to pay £9 to park on a heap of rubble. Result.

      Lot of tumbleweed here these days. I'm sure I saw Glen on FB yesterday but the thread here's so slow now, I don't think folk check-in very often any more. Sadly.

      Tried this morning. to get a ticket for Ryan Adams in Edinburgh. All gone bar 'restricted viewing' within 15 mins. Can someone please tell me why tickets go on sale during working hours when not all of us can access a computer at the very minute sale opens.

    Facebook unusually quiet about Chuck Berry. Perhaps no suprise that a man of 90 dies. Perhaps his checkered past. A lot of people based their careers on his music and its thread runs right through rock'n'roll. They might even change tomorrow night's theme from Niceness, because that certainly didn't apply to Chuck.

      Shared a flight with him back in 1980. It was my first transatlantic and it was Glasgow-St Louis on British Caledonian.

      Halfway through the flight I pressed the button for the stewardess. She came down the aisle but instead of attending me she went to Chuck instead. I leaned across, tapped her on the back and said "I think you'll find that was my ding a ling not his".
