Passport to #LaLaLand

Right now, we all want a ticket to La-la Land. In fact we all want a ticket to just about anywhere. The expression La-La land seems to date back to 1979 when people used it to mean a mystical, whimsical place inspired by la la refrains used in songs.

It then became shorthand for Los Angeles and the dream world created by the magic of celluloid there before becoming the name of a blockbuster movie in 2016. Jazz pianist Ryan Gosling and aspiring actress Emma Stone realise their dreams of stardom in La La Land.

The rest of us secretly wish that we had a place like that where we can forget our worries, dream of better days and join in the chorus of la las. Blue skies and clandy floss skies. This is your passport to a paradise lost..

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.
