All the world's his stage.
I remember this one so well. I wasn't at the Pinkpop festival in '88, but I watched it on TV. An angel in bovver boots, time stood still. The white jumper hanging from her jeans was her baby son Jake's. He's 21 this year.
Watch it now before Fox cancels the world from underneath your bum.
Didn't know you could do all that with a jet ski.
This Volkswagen commercial combines 'Lost in Translation'-type images with Richard Burton's evocative reading of Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood. Gorgeous. (via Vanderzande.com).
I'm not that keen on motorcars in general, but I do keep telling people that driving through cities at night and London in particular is one of my favourite things in the whole wide world.

One more video from The Police's concert in the Amsterdam ArenA. I was all set to video the whole song... and then I hit the wrong button, so I missed the first few bars. I know it looks like I was miles away from the stage, but I was in the - huge - front enclosure.

The Police are great at jazzing up their songs. Not something I'm terribly keen on, but I enjoyed the night out with friends. The sound was ok for Amsterdam's ArenA standards. Sting wore skinny pants, his legs like matchsticks. Tantric me arse. Andy yawned a bit one point. He always sounds off key in his solos. Stewart Copeland's still very, very good. And looks like mathowie. The crowd was old like me. 50 quid bloke cloned x 50,000. I enjoyed the night out, but the music didn't move me, nor transport me back to my young years in any way.
