Went along to see Prince right here in Sydney the other day. What a night! What a consummate performer. Some may have wanted The Symbol to play more of his long catalogue of mega-hits. Personally, I was just happy to see the Funkmeister General strut his stuff with such style and musical acumen. He was on top form and the band really got into the cool, infectious vibe.

Inspiration
Went along to an author's talk at my local library the other day. The writer performing was one Peter Coriss, who had penned many crime fiction novels. The talk was okay, not overwhelming and I have to admit that I have little interest in crime novels. Also, he seemed a bit too proud of his anti-Christian prejudices but I was heartened to note the audience responding in lukewarm fashion to a few of his jibes. But, it was a free event, organised by the library and the Sydney Writers Festival so I was happy enough to partake.
What made it inspirational was the fact here we had a seventy-year old writer, successfully enjoying the attention of his readership in a rather laid-back manner, taking questions with a measure of grace. It was fun to see him in action. He'd obviously done this many times but it made me think. It made me realise it may not be too late for me to gain some literary success before I'm put out to pasture. It was, all things considered, food for thought..

Flaming hide
The Gillard seeks to revive some desperate old-style Labour class war shenanigans by claiming Opposition leader Abbott doesn't understand the pressures 'working families' are under due to the fact that he resides in affluent North Sydney. Gasp.
Who was it that inflicted a carbon tax on Aussie families? Who doesn't even have a family of her own?
It's one thing to say something controversial or even offensive but one should make sure it's not as stupid as this. Prime Minister Julia 'The Dunce' Gillard.

Gillardism
She can't help it, the opposition leader is too negative. She couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery but she's not accountable. It's because she is a woman and the populace just isn't giving her a fair go. The carbon tax is a good thing, apparently, and not really a problem because the cost of living is incredibly high anyway. It's nice to know that Labour think that ruining the Australian economy will result in decreasing the Earth's temperature. Sounds like a fail-safe plan, how could it not be a roaring success?
