I am a 50 something bloke from the UK who is old enough to know better, but clearly doesn’t.
Music has been one of my passions for many years. I bought my first single, “Sugar Sugar” by the Archies when I was just 10 years old in 1969. The first gig I ever saw was the Jackson 5 way before Michael even knew what plastic surgery was. I am also a retired Mobile DJ and I read a lot too. Does everyone have a novel within them? Maybe, but with me it’s probably just wind 
I live in York in the UK withmy wife Catherine aka Catwoman (she is not so protective of her secret identity any more) and our two cats; Benny the Ball and Mrs Betty Slocombe.
My heroes are David Bowie, Stephen King, Johnny Nash, Bob Marley, Joe Strummer, Levi Stubbs, Douglas Coupland, Stan Lee, Frances Farmer,Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, Kate Bush, Gillian Anderson (ok Gillian may not be a heroine to me, but let’s just say I find her attractive!) and of course the Silver Surfer and the Fantastic Four
I work as a Management Consultant, but let’s face it that’s pretty boring so, “Nuff Said”
I started this blog back in February 2009 and I still appreciate all your comments

We’ll build a glass asylum…
The title of your blog just stopped me in my tracks. I was watching blog after blog flow by via condron and there it was. Lyrics from what I consider the best album ever made. You’ve got my attention.
Terry,
thanks for the comment. I’m sure some readers thought I was just trying to be wacky in some way. But you hit the nail right on the head. Diamond Dogs is my all time favourite Bowie album and I have them all! I’ve been a fan since 1972 and I’ve seen him 8 times. Funnily enough I almost called the blog Glass Asylum, you’d have guessed thta one as well though!
Cheers
Bill
I know now why I liked you instantly! This is good stuff, keep it up!
Yeah we hit it off quite well, thanks for the comments and keep reading, Cheers Bill
hi Bill, Thanks for being so kind there,,,, i am sure you could have said more, by the way what car do you drive……XXXXX
wow what can I say? I have occasionally mentioned people from the past in my posts kind of hoping for a response eventually but I usually don’t get one. But then I mention you in a post and I get a reply less than 48 hours afterwards. It really was a wonderful surprise. How did you find it so quickly?
As for mentioning more, my dear Gay I am a gentleman
Anyway how the devil are you? I’ll e mail you later if that’s ok
As for the car, well now I drive a sleek black Limo………….. did I say Limo? I meant Volvo V50, it is sleek and black though, not one of those old box shaped Volvos
xxxxxxx
Well i saw the your post the next day you wrote it. I was actually looking for my facebook, i still have no idea why i typed my name in, then saw your page. I was so shocked that anyone had written something about me. Well my kids and friends have had a good laugh about what you had written, but like i said to them you have now forgiven me, which is good,THANKs It was a friend who said i should mail you, about the car, i hope you took it as a joke,,, i guess you did. Well good luck with the writing. and i am sooooo jealous you went to Reading, hoping to go next year, only if i can VIP tickets,,,,dont think i could use those loos.. xxxxxx
Was originally browsing through to look at pictures and am definitely interested in following your blog. You have some good insights into some classic music that I wish I knew more about. Keep up the good posts!
Thanks for the comment and I’m glad you like the blog. I checked out your website earlier too. You have some great artwork there
Hi,
Really loved your blog and description as well
For me, music is my life as well, and that is why I started my blog, in this case, http://www.muzikablog.com. Would you mind exchanging links? Contact me on bruce@muzikablog.com.
keep it up
Bruce
thanks for the excellent comment. I have read some of your blog posts too and have added yours to my blog roll. I love the post about the Who! Their Quadraphenia album is still one of my favourite albums.
You’ve got a good blog going on!
Cheers
Bill
I am the present headteacher of Ryefield School. I bumped into the website by chance – actually the picture. It is our 50th anniversary, visit our website there will soon be lots of historical pictures. If you have any positive stories or memories, let me know.
Hello, I like your blog. And I think we have something in common, our love for David Bowie. He’s on the same level with the Beatles for me, my favorite album is Low, but most of him albums are great.
My blog is mostly about indie music, but I write about all quality music. I write personal stuff on it too. It’s not always easy as my first language is not English, but I enjoy it.
Maybe you want to exchange links? I already added your blog in my list.
did your cousin Deborah Schofield live in the Hounslow/Isleworth area and pass about 11 or 12 years ago now with an embolism ? Forgive me if the wrong person, but if not, would love to speak to you as she was a dear dear friend !
