Yoof - what are they coming to?
I've just returned from walking the dog and, as I entered the field this evening, there was a group of youths hanging around by the gate. Not unusual.
Now, of course, I'd concur with those who'd suggest they should be at home, tucked up in the bosom of their intact nuclear family, doing their chemistry homework and later enjoying "War & Peace" while listening to the latest Laura Marling cd.
Instead, these scruffy, uneducated, stop-out, disenfranchised, disinterested, can't sit still, ne'er do wells were congregated around one of those smart telephone things playing loud pop music. In tinny 64 kbps mp3 quality through a midget speaker at that. And what unmusical, modern noise were they grooving to?
"Starman," by David Bowie.
Massive - there is hope yet!

Will be carrying the baton. The song of choice in the car to school is the Laughing Gnome. Kooks soon and before you know it it'll be Ziggy.
As a matter of interest
are you much kop at punching other people's dads?
maybe
that was their homework.... history homework.
On the bus, a "hooded" fellow
slouching, clearly resenting life, and probably listening to hippity-hoppity music. A frail lady in her eighties stands up to get off at the next stop, when the bus abruptly brakes, and she stumbles. The fellow immediately grabs her arm to stop her falling, holds her until the bus gets to the stop, tells the driver to give them a couple of moments and helps her off.
Yes - there is indeed hope!
However, the smartly dressed, middle aged businessman arse
who wouldn't stand up to let me get out of my seat on the bus today can go and have sex with himself.
Businessman
Well it is the besuited businessmen that have brought the world to it's knees and not the behooded modern day yoof so that's no surprise really.

current favourite is Stevies "Part time Lover" because someone used it on a skateboard video. Incongruous just about covers it.
