The Good, the Bad and the Fugly
I’ve been on these blighted isles for a bit over a year now, and am still learning just how different their basic mentality is from what I’m used to.
You’d think that the fact that they still have a tax supported royalty would have clued me in long ago, but it’s more than that. There’s a “Mate-ocracy” here that they’re quite proud of, and the levels of bullying passed down through the levels are considered par for the course, for example nastiness to an underling gets a response of, “he’s really on form today”, with a smile. Truly psychotic nastiness, with an element of narcissistic pathos is considered a sign of a great sense of humor (or “humour"). Don’t even get me started on the blatant nepotism (especially by those who claim to not allow nepotism).
So this evening’s show will be twofold. I’ll be discussing the royalty addicted Brits and their seeming need for a playground pecking order, while playing music with a completely different theme. Perhaps telling a story or creating an emotional roller coaster with music, but I won’t be explaining what it’s about - it’ll be up to you to figure it out. No prizes, no competition, no wrong or right answers, just some fun.
I’ll be broadcasting live from Buggery Ol’ Blighty on KMRL Mojo Radio Live at 11:00pm GMT, which is 6:00pm Eastern/3:00pm Pacific in the US, and Midnight in Western Europe.
Make sure you tune in to listen to some rants about Blighty and some great music spinning a web of emotion, and while you’re at it, come into the KMRL Chat Room to let me know what you think or to just say hi.
