1. The term ‘baby boomers’ refers to people born in the 1940’s and 1960’s. This group of men and women are one of the most influential cohorts of people, as they make up the bulk of the modern workforce, pay for many to receive state education, medical treatment and pensions. They are due to retire very soon, let’s hope the state reciprocates the sacrifice and dedication the baby boomers have shown.
2. Trying to arrange a simple pick up and drop off of band equipment, can be filled with as much heartache, joy and tribulation as the work of Homer. Think transport problems, intra-band conflicts, shady meetings in car parks, all of which takes place amid a cold and dreary London landscape. And where would such a voyage be without a deeper, philosophical rumination, which in this case was, ‘why am I out here in the cold lifting drums, while dem man are at home?’
3. People come, and people go. It is very easy to focus on their departure, which is often fuelled with emotion and misplaced words, but rarely, do we remember them by their stay, the way they managed to occupy so much of your life, of your time, of your thoughts.
