Superb physical gifts, the finest modern training methods available (cough) and a sociopathic winners ego…My money is on Lance to win (or at worst podium) The Tour de France, which begins Saturday.

Altered Images - Don’t Talk To Me About Love
Gregory’s Girl: Clare Grogan and Altered Images in 1983 on Britains Top of the Pops. Lip-sync heaven of course, but weren’t these Scots “OT” (Original Twees)? I would play Killing Joke and Black Flag loud (for manhood’s sake), but what a secret crush I had on Clare with her baby girl voice and 80’s boy cut. A perfect euro-pop moment in time.
Lobo: “I’d Love You To Want Me”
Summer of 72 and the babysitters (hey I was 10) all loved Lobo. A pleading, plaintive melody with a swelling chorus made to hum out of an AM transistor radio, while sitting on the front steps, smoking Winstons and Marlboro reds and talking bout boys. More about Roland Kent Lavoie here

So flash forward about 40 years to Seinfeld/David and the “show about nothing”. Not saying that Seinfeld was high art. (not that there’s anything wrong with high art) Storytelling though, lifting the mundane to the sublime through the act of recording and retelling.
I still believe in Christopher Hitchens.
And If I could I would commission a Tony Millionaire drawing as a new tattoo.
