You know, there’s time when the most frustrating thing in your head?
Is a good old fashioned earworm.
The only thing more frustrating than that?
Is having an ear worm, and not knowing what it’s called!
Thankfully?
I tracked it down.
It’s It Dread Inna Inglan, by Linton Kwesi Johnson, and on his Dread Beat and Blood LP.
Which is a very good album, I should add.
If you’ve not heard it, it’s worth listening to.
Old school dub — for the man who made it seriously popular — makes for powerful listening …

I have to admit, Nicholas Parsons — the late presenter of Just A Minute — is springing to mind, a lot, recently.
Partly because his recent death was a sad thing.
I couldn’t tell you if the show’s going to continue with a replacement presenter: especially given the current circumstances.
The reason I mention it?
He always — in the introduction to each show — that people were listening ‘around the world’…
A phrase that seems to have been picked up by the BBC’s news readers, just recently.
What can I tell you?
Except the phrase has picked up resonance …
