My neighbour said “Phil Collins doing You Can’t Hurry Love… I suppose it would be like Ed Sheeran doing Wonderwall now”. It wouldn’t. It would be like Dua Lipa doing Bad Romance now. We are really old.
I just found The Diary of Frank Anne from 17 years ago.
Two men take on the daunting task of compressing Use Your Illusions into one listenable album. Finally, an answer to the question “Can you make a diamond out of a pile of shit”?

@thermalsatsuma.bsky.social HIYA!!!! Not sure why Bluesky won’t let me DM you. Are you free tomorrow about 5? Pint?
You need to get on this if you're a Maiden fan. Can't wait to hear @michaellegge.bsky.social after he's had to listen to both versions of Use Your Illusion multiple times...he'll be as happy as a pig in shit.

Dolly Parton lived at the same time as you, though. Don’t hear her wanging on about that.
The more I see these kind of pictures, the less I like Ian Watkins. Would it kill him to make an effort?
The one that’s still alive? He should write a song about that.

I think Dolly Parton might be the only person ever to honestly believe in Jesus, because she lived by his example. Jesus and Dolly are a bit like Michael Hutchence and Kylie. I never got that guy at all, but Kylie loved him, so I’ve started to like him. Might go to church on Sunday.
The Empire State Building went pink at exactly 9:25pm for Dolly Parton. Because of course they made it 9 to 5. That’s how you honor an icon. 🩷
This is wild. Everybody knows the song 9 to 5. It’s huge! Look where it peaked in the UK chart. Insane.
No one has a bad word to say about Dolly. Everyone is rightly sad, but what a life she had. I think she got back as good as she gave.
I only really know Dolly's hits, and they're great enough, but listen to this if you don't know it already. It's only two and a half minutes, but the ending! 💔
Michael Legge@michaellegge.bsky.social · 2mo agoDolly Parton was a true music great and clearly a thoroughly decent person. Jolene didn’t stand a chance. Nick Cave would give his red right hand to write a song as dark and brilliant as this. youtu.be/b7nbNNxsnGQ?...
But, my lord, what a life she lead. Well played, Dolly.

A return from London to Cardiff (under 2 hours) this weekend costs £128. A return from Dublin to Belfast (over 2 hours) this weekend costs £25. What is @gwr doing wrong that Irish rail companies are doing right?
Hey Happy Birthday Michael! Good company you're in.
