Dream Scenario?🛌💤😴

I don't usually remember my dreams, but I'll have to keep an eye out for Nick Cage from now on ... or at least the character he plays in 'Dream Scenario';-)

Dream Scenario (2023)

Nicolas Cage returns as the unlikeable Paul,
who keeps suddenly cropping up in people's dreams

Secret Societies and Dreams?🛌💤😴

The music video (above) features the band setting up their instruments playing the song within the Brisbane CBD, but blown up to "King-Kong" size. 

They dwarf the Brisbane CBD skyline then take on other parts of the world. 

At the end, the band finishes the song while standing on top of Australia.

The song was written by Powderfinger and produced by Nick DiDia. 

It was released as the lead single from Powderfinger's seventh album, Golden Rule, in 2009.

I write about this album and its artwork in my next post.

New Year Thinking Allowed?🎉🥳

At least I don't interview myself, right Daz?

But we like listening to Jeff talking to himself, don't we Daz?

That's right Darren, we do;-)

And people call me deranged behind my back in podcast episodes they don't think I listen to ... right Trish and Rob?

I guess some people just need to Enlighten Up when it comes to calling the kettle black when they are a bit potty themselves?-)

John Pilger Was Born in and Passed Away in The Year of the Rabbit?🕳🐇

John Pilger
(9 October 1939 – 30 December 2023)

I saw the news this morning (before I went to bed) of the passing of John Pilger, who I met once many years ago at a cinema screening of one of his films.

I think it must have been the screening of his 2007 film 'The War on Democracy', which I bought about the only book of his I could find (A Secret Country) in a city bookshop and asked him to sign it for me on the night. 

I liked John, even though some of his views were a little too far left for my liking.

I see myself as a Centrist when it comes to politics, and don't like the far left any more than I like the far right.

I have owned and read a few other books John wrote, but I gave them away after I had read them.

I only kept A Secret Country because John had signed it for me, not because I thought it was a great book.

And while I'm no fan of the CCP, I am a fan of Chinese culture and found it ironic that for someone like John, who likes going down political rabbit holes, he was born and died in the Year of the Rabbit.
The last film I watched of John's was 'The Coming War on China', which I thought was quite good.

Just Bull in a China Shop ... or Not?

2024 and a Happy New Year?🎉🥳
