The early part of the year was intense with the famous deaths. Bowie, Rickman, Prince, and also Paul Daniels who was of course really big in his day. Of course Ali too. I guess with Ali, you could see it happening, but those other deaths really were out of the blue and just shocking.

It has been a year of political rebellion, but all we got was more of the same. Trump is appointing cronies and wackjobs. Brexit is heading nowhere. People need to wake up to true rebellion and that means someone with ideas, vision and people UNITING to get the job done. The common enemy is an obvious one, now get ye together and fight it.

Jarvis Cocker once sang 'I am not Jesus, though I have the same initials. I am the man who stays home and does the dishes'. He was documenting mid life crisis and breakdown and 2016 has been some of that for me too. I don't have the same initials as Jesus, but Walrus does. I think I have been put on a cross though and as always I have the scars to prove it. Are you for real? Then prove it, ye heathen.

A strange year 2016. Let's hope the next one is a little bit warmer.
