Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

I was a bit spannered yesterday and not meaning to be rude, I was just having a joke/being daft, but apologies anyway for any offence caused. Herbs and the after affects of sleeping pills/painkillers do not mix very well. Anyway, hey, it's only Sooty!
As for your your comment re. the Irish, it wasn't very clearly put and easily misunderstood, in my opion.

Re. mediation, I think this is an excellent idea:

I do think you've got him wrong. I might have thought the same thing had I not listened to hundreds of hours of his podcast. Cheeky telephone conversations were one part of the show, sometimes with Finnish employees of a Moomin theme park, or with the voice of Bungle from Rainbow. In the case of that Sachs thing, Sachs had been booked for the show and he hadn't shown up, so Jonathan Woss, his fill-in co-host, egged him on to give him a call asking where he was. He was winging-in it and, considering one of the few things he knew about Sachs was that he had a granddaughter in a dominatrix troupe called the Satanic Sluts who he'd slept with, it came up. Prob not the kind of thing a granddad wants to hear about, but it's not really that big a deal. That hardly makes him Bernard Manning.

The revolution thing's pretty tongue-in-cheek and glib, but Brand's definitely not sexist (a sex addict, sure, but that doesn't mean the same thing). I mean the dude sits and chats with the homeless once every week or so. How many celebs do that?

Crikey. That's the last thing that I would have expected of David Lynch - meditation. I did wonder what he had been up to beyond "Inland Empire" and his music.
Meditation and associated therapies have always been beyond me - bipolarity and the manic imperative in action. It's hard enough to concentrate on reading one book at a time.

...idea that change can be brought about by somehow polarising around some charismatic or famous figure.

Don't vote you maintain this bullshit system, that's common sense! If you need to be told what to do by this tool then so be it, personally I'd rather be able make my own decisions and act in a way that creates positive change, not maintain the same shit we've got now. Cameron doesn't want you to vote, that's why he wants to relax the emphasis on voting, you don't vote he stays in! It's that simple! So go ahead, don't vote, this wander stays in and don't expect any thanks from those of us that are trying to create positive change.
