Faithless

An emotional roller-coaster of a day (thanks to Helen of the pink hair), rounded off by a trip to the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham for an evening in the company of Maxi Jazz, Sister Bliss, Rollo, friends, and about 5000 rapturous fans.

In the week where the war in Iraq has finally surfaced I reproduce below some of Maxi Jazz's lyrics to "Mass Destruction":

"Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether you're soar away Sun or BBC 1
Disinformation is a weapon of mass destruction
You could be a Caucasian or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether inflation or globalization
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether Halliburton or Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction
We need to find courage, overcome
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction "

Not a bad creed to take into this election, really.
