Bangles once sang backing vocals for the Dead during an encore. It was the song β€œIko” at the end of a show in October’88, but really should have been β€œWalk Like An Egypt β€˜78.”

It’s national Book Day in the Uk where amongst other things kids are invited to go to school in costume inspired by a book. I have again failed to convince my son to dress up as The Golden Road: The Recorded History of the Grateful Dead. πŸ˜‰

I probably did hear it back then, just can’t recall it. One of many filed under β€œgood but didn’t buy the album” I think.

I remember them from β€œthe olden days” but can’t remember their music at all. Any good?

An advert for a helicopter trip in Dubai appears on my feed. Nah, not for me, mate.

Dropped in yesterday after a long absence. Feed seemed to be full of American gun nuts.

All the pictures released from the WH and Mar a lago look like promo pics from a remake of Dr Strangelove.

So having a viable alternative to Labour / Reform seems to be attracting voters. Scotland’s voters have been demonstrating this for quite some time. #snp

A moment’s silence, please, for the Conservative Party. Who not only came fourth, but couldn’t even scrape 800 votes.

Absolutely delighted to see the wheels fall off the Reform clown car just as they were preparing a lap of honour round Nuremberg stadium.
