Oh, my poor rheumatic back...

Well, after the fantastic Manchester gig it is "The Tourist".............and between the Royal Albert Hall and last Friday's gig it was "After The Fall".........
(really looking forward to Rays new album...........as you can no doubt tell!

Breeze blows leaves of a musty coloured yellow..
soo......I sweep them in my sack!
Ooohhh it got cold and wet this weekend

Yeah, nasty November weather a bit early. But you've got your Sox to keep you warm.

Who'll be the next in line?
Who'll be the next in line for heartaches?
Who'll make the same mistakes I made over you?

There's too much on my mind
There's too much on my mind
And I can't sleep at night thinking about it

Everybody needs education...

If my friends could see me now, looking out my hotel window...

(London Holiday Inn Berkeley ST) Luis

I don't know why I'm even bothering...Predictable

lived my life and never stopped to worry 'bout a thing
Opened up and shouted out and never tried to sing
Wondering if I'd done wrong
Will this depression last for long?

Won't you tell me
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?

Well, once we had an easy ride and always felt the same
Time was on our side and I had everything to gain
Let it be like yesterday
Please let me have happy days

He's Evil, He's Evil He's Evil He's Evil

(every time i see, hear or think about my neighbour nextdoors )

For the past week it was Lost and Found ("waiting for the hurricane/to hit New York City..."), but today I've had Sitting By the Riverside going on, very mellow vibe. Oh love keep me warm, keep me satisfied.

Frank, I hope you've got Better Things going on in your head today.

Really Missing my Dad today

Scattered

Now my life is all scattered
Ever since HE's been gone
I feel older, I feel fatter
I feel the blues coming on
We get bruised
We get battered
But we'll pick up the pieces that scattered
And with emotional glue
We're gonna stick together, body and mind

Holly thanks for the " better things " good wishes. I'm kind of manic depressive at times. I guess that's what made my rock band days so good because nobody knew what I was going to do next. I think Ray as most good performers do, suffers a bit from this too. I once had a talk with him about it, and how barometric pressure effects people who are manic and he knew exactly what I was talking about.

See you at the NYC show? Bring the paper plates for old times sake and so Ray knows we want a KINKS reunion tour next year!

Frank -- unpredictable is good; I am deeply suspicious of predictable people. Anyway, glad the barometer has levelled off a bit! Looking forward to the 28th -- hoping to see as many of you then as possible.
