“We keep moving. We keep putting one foot in front of the other and wanting to be here. It takes a lot for somebody to decide they don’t want to be here… The world’s kind of painful — but God, I can’t get enough of it. I just don’t want it to end.”
(Jeff Tweedy)
Me neither. Jeff Tweedy heads up the band Wilco.
He devoted a second book, “How to Write One Song” (2020), to encouraging across-the-board creativity and to offering practical suggestions to aspiring songwriters. One is simply to devote at least 20 minutes every day to working on songs, good or bad. “If you tried to write a bad song every day, you’d end up writing a good song every once in a while, you know?” he said. “I just think it’s about putting yourself in the position of being in the way of a song.”
Remembrance of Virginia Giuffre.
“It takes a lot for somebody to decide they don’t want to be here.” Virginia Roberts Giuffre killed herself in April at age 41. Her posthumously published book has just appeared, titled Nobody’s Girl: Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, published by Doubleday.

Good thoughts from Jeff Tweedy.
The ripples from Virginia Guiffre’s book are proving very powerful – the end of a Prince perhaps?
Lovely drawings too Jim.

Thank you the drawings, Sue. Do you happen to catch PM’s questions on Wednesdays? Yesterday’s had Ed Davey’s query about review of the living arrangements of a certain resident of the crown estate and the coded reply by Starmer interpreted as being in the affirmative. All very circumscribed and indirect. There’ll always be an England!

Yes, coded language is so very British. It certainly looks like the knives are out for the prince. (and a good thing too)
