Planet Zero: The Warmth of the Sun

We’re experiencing the perfect storm of a pandemic, Brexit and global warming waiting like the three horses of the Apocalypse on the horizon of our dreams of the Costa Brava.

As Jarvis Cocker eloquently puts it, our ice caps are turning to slush and even David Attenborough looks tired. Greenpeace is ripening into yellow peace and we’re all worrying about the battery life of our new cars. Emily Barker enquires in song ‘Where have all the sparrows gone’ and we hear a poem from Maya Angelou about ‘The Caged Bird that Sings’.

As long ago as 1969 Yes were singing about ‘Survival’ and as Woodstock came and went and the airports, parking lots and politicians fall silent, we listen to A-ha sing of Mother Nature dying and going to Heaven. Not world music this week, but music lamenting the world.

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
