You see what I mean? There's a choirboy with a crooked collar, and an '80s girl with lopsided breasts, and Mike Oldfield is in a muscle shirt, screaming, with fireworks.That's how I feel.

Spreading the Joy
When I can't sleep my emotional state mirrors this screenshot from Mike Oldfield's "Pictures in the Dark" video:

To be fair its an awful video and the screen shot does it justice!

suck it up Princess!!! Love it!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Mark! It's hard to differentiate between the anonymous folk. :)
ReplyDeleteMike Oldfield crosses the line into "cheesy awful" pretty frequently...I don't know whether it's him or his PR people. I still love much of what he does ("Amarok!") but he can make me cringe.
Note to self: must read "The Magus."
And what a surprise to have Madonna in our midst! Pop-star or religious icon (or both)?
ReplyDeleteAccording to our receptionist, she picked up the phrase "suck it up, Princess" from her daughter.

ReplyDeleteBut Mike, so much of what you've done in the last 6 years has been crappy. WHY?!?
ReplyDeleteThat's no way to talk about your wife.
ReplyDeleteHere's my recommendation, Mike: stop trying to be a pop star, an Ibiza house convert, and a hippy-yoga-guru all at once. Retreat back behind your ego and make a new single-album song (and DON'T call it "Tubular Bells 4!") Bring back Maggie Riley. Ditch the sequencers. Don't sing.
And I'll be there! Taurus! TAURUS!
