Shakin, Wrestlin and Rollin'

Episode description
I am subjecting you to another track from my recently re-released
wrestling album....this is the title track "Shake Wrestle and Roll" which has been
re-released in the States by Burger Records and is getting plenty of plays....all very
strange as I haven't listened to it for 30 years (I wonder why?)....I wrote the whole
album for wrestler Adrian Street back in the day and here we go again....and it's on
VINYL!!.... It sure is a strange business.
I had a few days up in The Lake District which was a nice break ...might as well be
there in the drizzle as anywhere else...had a wander round Kendal which still bears the
scars of last years floods but thankfully fully recovered....on returning we went to the
Empire in Liverpool to see "The Commitments" which was musically very good...good
live stuff...however the acting wasn't too clever as it was hard to pick up what they were
saying and the strong Irish accents didn't help....fortunately I have seen the film so I
knew the story...the niggle I've always had with this story is the brass section on the
band has a trumpet and a sax....for me there has to be a trombone as well....it was the
same in the film....but that's just me.
A statue of Cilla has been erected outside the Cavern in Liverpool...it was unveiled in
front of an enthusiastic crowd.....although the statue is very good it's not a particularly
good likeness...whether that matters or not....it is similar to the one of Ken Dodd in
Lime Street Station...that's not a good likeness either......at least they have put Cilla on
the front of where the original Cavern was.....before the city geniuses knocked it
down....a nice rags to riches story....not quite sure why it took so long...would have
been nice while she was still around?
At the time of writing we have the build up to Trump signing on....with half the nation
protesting....as opposed to the other half had Hilary won...I don't know what they hope
to achieve...this bad enough but what is really sad is the sheep in THIS country
jumping on the bandwagon ridiculing a bloke who they know NOTHING
about....everyone making wild assumptions....why not just WAIT AND SEE.....suddenly
they go on about how wonderful Obama was..y'know...the bloke who was going to put
us at the back of the queue....followed by all the knownothings spouting about how
"Brexit" will never work....information they have heard from some politician who is
panicking in case he loses his unearned fortune....the only chap who speaks ANY
sense is Farage...we should make him Prime Minister AND president of the U.S.A.
And finally....they had an article on the ITV morning show about women having babies
late in life...they had a lady on who was in her fifties who had a 5 year old...she said
she had to look after her mother for 17 years by which time she was 51 and thought
she was too old to have a child but was successful...she said her only fear is that she
may not see her child marry etc...but had experienced the joy of motherhood...a lovely
polite intelligent lady....then in come the Emails at the side of the screen from the
woodentops....thing like she is "selfish" and "having children late is unfair on the
child"....what is it with these morons?...it has NOTHING to do with them and their
shallow little lives during which they have achieved NOTHING....and there lies the
problem.....FORTUNATELY for us ALL it was Thursday and Piers Morgan was replaced by Ben Sheppard....so we were spared an outburst from that idiot
