Lorraine's star in the ascendant. Julian talking about literature and other things
Congratulations to dear Lorraine - entering the hallowed halls of the Poetry Library. Great for them to be getting such a special star. It will be interesting for her working in the Festival Hall.
Having a rapturous time with the the diaries of Kenneth Williams. Such a buzzing charismatic genius whose star will never dim. I give thanks a thousand times for the special ones, those sensitive souls that see the possibilities for the arts. Contrast them with the mundane banalities of those who make you feel like Monday morning all the time. Mrs G. Ritchie, Terry Wogan, 99% of TV news presenters, Jeffrey Archer, Noel Edmonds, Tom Jones, Jim Davidson. How could we all face it if all we had were them?

I've never read Kenneth William's diary but I've heard it's amazing. Who is Mrs G Ritchie....oh, Madonna I guess. I was thinking of Lionel Ritchie's daughter who does that terrible show with Paris Hilton. Terry Wogan...well in his defense he makes some funny comments during Eurovision.
I could write something profound about the banality of life, but to be honest right now, my brain has been frazzled. For a hilarious look at how terrible news programs are, I recommend the show Broken News, which is now on DVD. Really shows how news programs actually tell you nothing much as all.
