ME: Did it hurt babe... when you fell from heaven?

Another one from much warmer times, recording 'What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow' in North Carolina. A welcome reminder that spring will always come again.

I hope you’re staying bundled up out there and enjoying time with loved ones.

Out of curiosity, I just ran a few paragraphs from The Butchering Art through an AI checker and it got flagged: 88% AI. This book was released in 2017, and AI machines were subsequently trained off it. How many writers are getting flagged for AI because of the literal theft of their work(s)? Insane.

I’m reminded of watching two old ladies ask a teenage goth for directions and she politely told them and when she was out of earshot one lady said “You know where you are with a goth”

Thank you for the reminder of the time Jason Manford issued a notes apology because his tribute to Brucie being under the Palladium unintentionally sounded like he is in Hell.

It has come to my attention that not everyone in the world has signed up for my newsletter.
I was worried this was because you all thought you had to pay.
Literally loads of it is for free and can be read right here and please do!

It's last days to pre-order a copy of my book with a signed bookplate!

www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/vintage-de...

I'll be doing a select few events after it's out.

The Goblin Maket will be cool.

Me: why doesn’t your son take over the restaurant?

Owner of the restaurant (they’ve been trying to sell for years): well, he doesn’t quite know what he wants to do. He’s only 26 years old….

My husband (as the owner walked away): Napoleon was Commander of the Army of the Interior when he was 26.
