Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4-1-2019: Phil Lynott

4th January, 2019.

Yep: like it says in the video, I’ve got an earworm going through my head.

And it’s not one by Ireland’s best known dead rock star.

It’s an obscure piece of Canadian synth pop, called Living on Video.

And it has to be said that — in the video — the lead singer looks EVER so concerned … 

As opposed to the backing singer: who’s bored out of her skull and wondering when she can stop dancing … !

~≈§≈~

Oh … 

And I’ve possibly got an interview … 

What do I mean, possibly?

I know I have an interview!

All I have to do now, is make sure I can get the funding for the ticket.

And … ?

And a haircut, if possible.

I’m getting a bit … you know … 

Shaggy!

Now … is it LYE nott, or LYN not?

~≈§≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

And a playlist …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        Actually, @Badwolf?   The Apple 1 was a complete computer: and not just the motherboard.   All the user had to provide was a case, and a TV.   (Give me a second, I’ll get my head out of my bum! :D )
