A Month Of... Going Around America...

And I'm cheating slightly... because Sunday, Monday and Tuesday I spent in New York...

Sunday I was in a "New York State Of Mind" with Billy Joel...

Monday was spent with the late, great Frank Sinatra in "New York, New York"...

And yesterday I was "The Only Living Boy In New York" with Simon & Garfunkel...

The Musical Interlude...

Another master of lyric writing - Billy Joel...

"Goodnight Saigon"...

And a bloody stupid fan video that's the only decent, whole version I could find of "An Innocent Man"... Why do folk do that? Stick effing stupid still photos or film clips (usually anime, but bloody Snape out of "Harry Potter" this time (okay, so it is Alan Rickman, and he is gorgeous, but still...)) over a song that's nothing to do with the film, and expect people to think they've just created something Oscar-winning!? (Sorry, rant over... I'll listen to the song now to calm me down again - with my eyes closed)...
