itunes

I have finally begun to make use of itunes and itunes store. Bought lots of music from there. Have suddenly developed an affinity for Cat Stevens music. (why doesn't someone play this kind of music instead of noise???). Also bought Tchaikovsky's first piano concerto - an amazing piece in which the piano leads the entire orchestra. It was initially rejected by the Russian academy but then Tchaikovsky refused to modify it and it was published in its entirety and is one his most famous pieces.

Didn't know the man was gay, even though he spent his entire life trying to make the world believe otherwise....the world hasn't changed that much since.

On the topic of homosexuality, TOP GEAR presenters drove through righteous (strong christian) Alabama with various unsavoury comments on their cars. Each presenter was asked to paint a slogan on the others car which would either get them shot or arrested. James came up with the best one - he painted Hammond's pick up truck with "MAN-LOVE IS OK" (in PINK).

So, they stopped at a petrol station to fill up and were mobbed by a bunch of rednecks, pelted with stones and had their camera shattered. It was scary. They had to run away, wipe off the slogans and race to the state border. Incredible how intolerant people can be. Its ridiculous- just shows you why you cant live in America.

Its the most realistic potrayal of America you could ever see. Here is the clip - watch it.
