i just spent a week in Wales with a close friend who happens to be a big player in designing speakers and sound systems. He's done the sound for many an artist including the Rolling Stones. He said that Lee Perry was a remarkable talent, whatever he chose to do on the night. 

One time, Perry freely rapped over a backing track for about 90 minutes and painted a mural on a huge canvas while doing so. He said it was quite bizarre yet brilliant entertainment. I suppose that kind of sums him up.

RIP Sarah Harding, 39.

That's no age at all, although she seems to have lived what few years she had to the full.

Remember a classmate getting a Sinclair scientific calculator when they came out in '74. Despite having to use reverse Polish notation and occasionally being a bit slow to perform calculations, everyone else in the class were more than a touch jealous. It was a truly remarkable piece of cheap (compared to contemporary kit) 'computer hardware' for its time. My 1st Sinclair kit was a ZX81 that got nicked when the house I lived in got burgled less than a week after I bought it!

Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor but because we cannot satisfy the rich.
