Critics have been dissing it, but whoever said critics have a sense of fun? <em> Not me, that's for sure. Especially when it comes to some critics, who shall remain nameless [(cough) Rick Groen (cough)].

Not me, that’s for sure. Especially when it comes to some critics, who shall remain nameless [(cough) Rick Groen (cough)]. If he hates it, I just have to see it.

Pirate radio had mostly faded by the time I got there in in 1979. I downloaded firefox just for you, but find your clever son fixed the IE version too. I'm sorry you had such trouble, but I am glad too to see you back in the "real" version. <em> I was about to say that I'm flattered you would go to so much trouble to read my blog, Duchess.

Not sure whether to compliment you for being such a clever clogs or to tell you go make your own blogroll. ;o)</em> I have heard from my Brit friends lots of stories of listening to Radio Caroline and Radio Luxembourg.

I mean, an addition to your Twitter posts is <em>all right</em>, but nothing like what I still think of as The Real Thing. (Btw and fwiw, I popped in here a couple times in the last month via my mobile phone, only to find a gazillion spamazoid links. Thought wistfully to myself, <em>Another great blog bites the dust</em>, and turned the page as it were.) Wish I'd discovered pirate radio when I really could've stood a dose of musical radicalizing. Philadelphia's WMMR-FM wasn't bad, but it wasn't pirate anything! <em> Hi John. Great to hear from you again. And it's good to be back. Twitter is fun, and it does serve to keep one's toes in the water, so to speak, but blogging is much more satisfying. I didn't know until this weekend that my blog had been hacked. <a href="http://duchessomnium.com/" rel="nofollow">Duchess</a> mentioned in a comment that my sidebar had disappeared and I found it was true when I checked on TFH's computer. (He's a PC, I'm a Mac, just like the tv ad!) #1 Son looked into it and discovered some html code I'd downloaded had screwed the sidebar up for people using an IE browser, while Safari and Firefox are clever enough to work round lousy code. Ergo, I had no idea. But he also found that the Nuts and Mutton header had been google bombed with hundreds of links to porn sites, which is probably what you saw on your mobile. The net result is that Google has removed Nuts and Mutton from their search engine, for the time being anyway, and #1 Son had to move me to a newer, more secure blog template. Come the New Year, when he has finished working on an exhibit for the Royal Ontario Museum (he's an incredibly smart and talented brand designer, as I may have mentioned a few thousand times before!) he is going to design my very own blog site for me, and I can hardly wait. w00t, as they say in the Twitterverse!</em> So glad to see new entries popping up here.
