I like Fridays. Just when You think another week of staying late at work to finish things off that never actually seem to get finished will never end, along comes Friday to let you know that it�s over for a couple of days. Yea!! If only we could do something about Monday�s�.

Anyway..no doubt that the real reason that you all look forward to Friday is to find out what will be the track of the week�Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones

Taken from the Let it Bleed album, one of the better Stones albums of the sixties, this the opening track of the album boasts one of Keef�s most recognizable intro�s (it was used on a R.A.C. advertisement for a number of years), but the song really comes alive when the rest of the group join in. Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts between them manage to sound like the bass section is twice the size. Watts at one time appears to be playing a variation on �Honky Tonk Woman�. This was at a time in the Stones history when they were a four- piece, following the tragic death of Brain Jones and also makes a period of evolution within the band. Jagger is on fine form as always on this track, he is aided by Mary Clayton on vocals, creating a �duet� which I have no doubt helped it evolve in to something of a classic Stones track. I�ve always preferred the Stones to the Beatles myself. The darker edge that they have to their choice of lyrics is typified by this track, written whilst Vietnam still dominated the news but the lyrics could easily apply to any many a scenario today.

LionHunter: A belated Happy Birthday to you. I hope you had a very special and enjoyable day. Seeing how it was your birthday I�ll forgive you calling me a wizard. Wizards are pathetic creatures..and they smell�you should throw rocks at them.

Almond: I�m not giving up on �Warriors Apprentice� I�m a third of the way through this time. I promised that I�d read it and I keep my promises (nearly). I�ll let you know what I think when I�m about half way through. Not too sure about that translation of �Fee Fi Fo Fum� being "the hippo stole my pants" in latin. Hypo is latin for horse. I think it really means �Teddy get me another milkshake�

Have to be quick as American Idol is on soon here plus there�s a program called �The Genius of Mozart� that I wanna watch. Just think..if Mozart were alive to day you can imagine him wishing that he was in Lawnmower Deth. If only they had electric guitars back then.

�Teddy�get me another milkshake

Take care all!!
