Watching a good programme about the Mississippi tonight, it brought to mind one of my favourite and iconic opening lines to a song : “The Mississippi delta was shining like a national guitar”. from Paul Simon’s ‘Graceland’....... so visually emotive. Any others?

'All children, except one, grow up'
Peter Pan was the 1st book I can remember being unable to put down. Of course parts of it haven't aged well but it's a brilliant children's book.

Here's a couple people should know;
"As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster."
"I believe in America. America has made my fortune. And I raised my daughter in the American fashion."

Show QuoteLife should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

I look at you all,
see the love there that's sleeping,
While my guitar gently weeps.

And you may find yourself
Living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself
In another part of the world
And you may find yourself
Behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house
With a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, well
How did I get here?There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

My favourite:
I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste
A flannel for my face
Pyjamas, a hairbrush
New shoes and a case
I said to my reflection
"Let's get out of this place"
Sorry if too long!
