Stairlift to Heaven

The well known Bible scholar and philosopher Belinda Carlisle observed in 1987 that:

They say in Heaven, love comes first

We’ll make Heaven a place on Earth

Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth

It turns out that Hell is a place on earth too. When Jesus talked about hell, his warnings in the Sermon on the Mount: anyone who calls another a fool, or who allows their right eye or hand to sin, will be cast into “hell” (Matthew 5:22, 29-30). But these passages are not actually referring to “hell.” The word Jesus uses is “Gehenna.” Which is not a place of eternal torment but a notorious valley burial site just outside the walls of Jerusalem where ancient Israelites practiced child sacrifice to foreign gods. Which makes Jonh Lennon and Imagine right too.

A man goes to Heaven and meets Jesus.

While Jesus is showing him round, he spots a broken clock.

“What’s that there for?” he asks.

Jesus says “that’s Mother Teresa’s clock it has never moved because she has never lied.”

“Just over here is Abraham Lincoln’s clock. He lied twice, so it has moved twice.”

“Where is Boris’s clock?” asks the man.

Jesus answers: “It’s in my office, I’m using it as a ceiling fan.”

Hello days and doorways

Nowadays we’re all Zoombies. We switch on people, events and business meetings on our laptops. We touch smartphones to exchange personal details, we facetime our grandchildren. We literally screen people.

So saying hello with a smile and eye contact is powerful. Chemistry doesn’t happen on video. It’s time to stop masking our feelings and see where that hello takes us.

The strange beauty of sadness

January can be a sad time of year. The nights are still long, the temperatures low and seasonal affective disorder hangs in the air like fog.

But sadness also means that the worst is over. The bereavement, the break-up, the bad decision is in the past. The pain and the anger is replaced by sadness. The realisation grows that you don’t have to tough it out – you are now in the aftermath, not the eye of the storm.

Now you can process, begin to grieve and be safe. Safe enough to feel compassion towards yourself – a feeling that takes over from the anger and hate. That feeling is sadness. You’ve earned it. So use it. We know that grief produces some of the best art. Just ask Adele.

The Cat’s Whiskers

The Best Tracks of 2021

In no particular order, I have selected the 22 tracks that have made the most impression on me over the year. Very few of them were big hits – but I don’t think that’s because my taste in music is misdirected or faulty. The more likely answer is that these tracks don’t fit into the commercial formula that record companies and streaming services like to lay down.

As we look forward to a New Year, the fact that you can listen to these songs is another reason why local and community radio must be preserved. If you haven’t heard it, you won’t know how much you love it.

Instant credibility at hip New Year’s parties..

Christmas Back Streets

Popular music is all about the new – relationships, experiences, being young and single and dancing. Christmas music is about homecoming, nostalgia, looking back to a more innocent time in life.The best songs are pretty old. Most were written in the 1970s and earlier, and many of the original versions of those songs were released long before.They usually have short, repetitive lyrics and standard themes. They don’t even really have to make a lot of sense. Mel Tormé’s “A Christmas Song” is just a litany of images: chestnuts roasting, Jack Frost nipping, carolers, mistletoe, Uncle Tom Cobbley and all. And we love it.

The two most prolific artists are Michael Bublé and surprisingly, the acappella vocal group Pentatonix who have had 16 songs in the Billboard Top 100, one more than Bublé. So where are the new Christmas classics?

Wham’s Last Christmas is at No 8. Is there a better version of it?

We play some of the less travelled songs..
