Blood And Bandages

It’s pure coincidence that the titles belonging to the songs written by myself and Les Oman are popping to the surface now, during this trundle through the archive, using those song titles as blog titles.

Pure coincidence that the songs written as a result of Donald Trump’s first presidential inauguration , nearly eight short years ago, are the ones I’m blogging on now — at the moment he gets voted in as American president for the second time.

Blood And Bandages is, at heart, a commentary on the fact that history doesn’t always progress in a smooth and improving manner.

Sometimes things go backwards.

We shall see what happens in reality. As is always the case, whatever the contradictory experts, including ourselves, predict. As I’ve said many times recently, I’m focussed on the shit that I can do something about, not the shit that is out of my control.

I also don’t want to be in the prophet of doom business.

So that’s my colours nailed to the mast anyway.

Have a nice day!
