A Brit in search of the Birdman of Philadelphia

I enjoyed this English gent and his take on Philly and his go at American accents. Peter Ustinov would be proud. So who is this Birdman? I'll be on the lookout for the sequel to this YouTube video. It's technical quality is crap, but the content is excellent.

Health scare! Yay!

I woke up Tuesday morning and part of my right arm was numb. As I was taking a shower and brushing my teeth, I noticed I was a bit clumsy and weak. I was hoping this would pass. It did not. I went to a hospital and got a CT scan. No evidence of a stroke, or, as my doc put it, "something growing in my head." My doc decided I had sensory neuropathy. Basically, I have a pinched nerve somewhere, maybe my neck. I'm scheduled to have further tests on my nerves next week, so don't bug me! (As if anybody is reading this, ha.)

RIP Tony Wilson

Some of my favorite bands came from the label Factory Records that he created back in the late 1970s - Joy Division and New Order in particular. I love the movie "24 Hour Party People" which was basically a story of that music scene through his life, with the appropriate telling the legend rather than telling the truth. Here's a snippet of what the man was:

Wilson, who died last Friday, will be remembered for many things - Factory Records, the Hacienda, Happy Mondays and Joy Division (later New Order) among them.
Then there was his TV career - working for many years on regional news programme Granada Reports, a rather shorter stint on ITV current affairs show World in Action and Channel 4's late night, open-ended talkshow, After Dark. In one of his latest broadcast incarnations, he could be heard on Channel 4's radio version of The Tube.
But the former ITN trainee was at his most influential with Manchester music show So It Goes, where the Sex Pistols performed Anarchy in the UK on August 28, 1976, four months before the song was released and their infamous encounter with Bill Grundy became front page news..

Thanks for the inspiration Tony.
