Today’s Lyric___________________________________________“Mama always told me save yourselfTake a little time and find the right girlThen again don't end up on the shelfLogical advice gets you in a whirlI know, a lot of things that you don'tYou wanna hear some?She said, just give me somethingAnythingWell give me all you got but not love“Joe Jackson: “It’s different for girls”From the album: “Look sharp”Friday saw an extremely good celebration of Niece H.’s 18th birthday, with The Reaction playing live for the assembled throng, a relaxed and well-received gig ending with a track that I should have bet on, eh Bruv? Carousing continued on well into the small hours, when the hotel manager very politely suggested that for the benefit of the other guests, we crashed?Yep, several tied one on. One tied several on, eh, Nephew D?And it was nice to have a “full English” with the newly-adult ladygirl herself next morning, during which our two discovered they had acquired new ‘first cousins once removed’ (or something like that) who they gelled with immediately.There was no such conversation between my Mum and Dad, but we all agreed that to have got them in the same room together for the first time in over twenty years was a major achievement in itself. Maybe for Nephew D’s 21st, they’ll even say “Hello” to each other? Stranger things could happen…
