Give Me A Break

  There's teenage crisis, mid-life crisis then just crisis crisis. Which sort of brings me back to the film where we are set up with a potential health crisis, making us feel vulnerable or insecure and easy meat to be flogged a 'remedy'. The Victorians did it with an ointment or medicine that could cure anything from malaria to a boil on the bum. Now there are more restrictions, but they've become a lot cleverer at selling cure-alls.
  
  Cheer up. The hat doesn't look so bad!

  I'm pushing forty myself... this silly hat I'm wearing in my picture is my mid-life crisis hat, I think.
  
  You're so lucky to have seen the Stones in their prime though... so much wonderful music from that decade.
  
  I watched this one and I made the words out better the second time around... it's just my computer's speakers are nearly past it.

  I'm a child of the 60s Richard - the days of change and revolution! Went to see the Rolling Stones at St Mary's School hall, Hotham Road, Putney (now redeveloped I think) for five shillings when they were starting out. It changed me! Still haven't grown up since despite also a long career in journalism and family since. You only grow older outside - not in.
  
  I take on board what you say about mix - sounded ok to this 'codger', but always appreciate useful, constructive criticism and thank you. So what's wrong with an old computer! All the very best.

  I like this new style of yours Geoffrey... I can't think of anyone in your age bracket (no offence) doing raps. Straight away you're pretty much unique in that market.
  
  Maybe the only thing I would say about this second one is that the music was a bit loud in the mix... sometimes it was hard to hear you over the top of it, though that could also be because my computer's so old.
