25th February, 2025.
It’s official.
I’ve woken up with an earworm: Patti’s Smith’s “Horses”*.
Why?
I don’t know.
But it’s a hell of a tune to have stuck in your head.

I do know I had a CD, delivered, yesterday: a copy of Ian Dury compilation, Reasons to be Cheerful.
Why?
Because I’d bought it, obviously.
I’d bought it … ?
Because one specific track, the studio version of “Spasticus (Autisticus)”, possibly Dury’s finest and most personal work, isn’t available from Apple or Spotify.
Why?
I don’t know.
But that’s a shame.
It’s a powerful piece.

Mike Amesbury has been given a ten week sentence: for punching someone.
Or — to be more precise — has been given a ten week sentence: for punching a constituent.
He’s an MP.
And an MP who hasn’t been suspended from his job as MP.
Why?
I don’t know.
But … ?
From the little I know, anyone else would be fired, if they received gaol-time.
