Leave her alone. She likes me.... Mind you, she has it wrong about my willy. It's enormous. xxx
I loved getting involved in the folk scene many years ago, and yes, it was slightly surreal to see a social worker stick a finger in his ear and drone on about how hard it was down the pit. I didn't always stay till the end on account of having to be er.. down the pit early the next morning.
I see comparisons in religion. It is fashionable to find god in later life as it was fashionable to scrawl "this machine kills fascists" on a cheap catalogue guitar many years ago. That many people still turn up hoping that clever lyrics will change the world is rather nice, although the society many comment on from such perspectives is more sophisticated than they think, or sometimes comprehend.
Whether you sing on a Sunday about Jesus or sing in the week about reed cutting in Norfolk from your corner of the bar in Barnsley, it has parallels.
Mind you, I have yet to hear a retired fitter in Barnsley say he can speak on behalf of dead reed cutters, yet Christians seem to tell me the mind of Jesus. So not too many parallels eh?
Hang on. Just for Keith. Using his interpretation of atheist. There are more atheists than Christians in the western world. Full stop.
