@iancurtis1152 3 жыл бұрын
I use escapism by relating to everything in a comedic way, responding to a situation that requires a level, balanced resolution. I find that (most times) I try to come over as someone else or make light of things to attempt to hide the fact that I’m not as confident as I’d like to be. When I’m up, I’m up.......and when I’m down, I can’t get down far enough. I can’t shake the black dog for days at a time. So I’m trying to give myself artificial “highs” sometimes it works & sometimes not.

Through till the axing of Hey Hey, It's Saturday. Nothing since then. They've worked out the cheapest formula is to recycle American reality TV. Still, in their defence, I suspect that there's nowhere near as much money from advertisers as there was in the days the four channels were the main entertainment for most Australians.

This takes me back, now almost 50 years ago. The quote from Linda 'Every Night Josephine' was the name of a book I really enjoyed like 50 years ago written by Jacqueline Sussan about her pet poodle. She also wrote the famous 'Valley of the Dolls' for anyone that's old enough to remember. Weirdly both Linda and Jacqueline died at the age of 56 from cancer

This is a fun video to see Paul during this time. Still, as much as I think Linda was probably a great mom and wife, I tire of seeing interviews with her where she's chimes in with Paul and she tries to be cheeky and funny and throws in her attempt at a British accent much like the Beatles interviews. I think this partly is why much of the rock press used to bash her so much back then. I think they really didn't care what she had to say but she was there. I give her credit for putting herself out there because Paul wanted her there but sometimes I wish she wouldn't say anything.
