Sad though I am about the end of Music Planet, it was good to hear Lucy back in the studio today - and she had a BBC journalist on who had spent a few days in Tahrir Squsre during the demos - he played a couple of tracks recorded during the uprising and talked a bit about the role music was playing across the area.

What happened to this thread? It had potential. Was it too difficult for us? I wasn't sure exactly what was required.

This blog and the book seem relevant...any others? imho

Whatever!Anything you happen to think fits the bill,it was just an excuse to share a tune I`d enjoyed-lol!!.But if it`s short lived-c`est la vie!

Thanks for ur compliment Lateral-it was a song about `revolting`middle easterners/north africans-thus my comment about encourageing them.Maybe that wasn`t obvious-that can be the trouble with `World` stuff!! But maybe things in the real world have moved on a bit since I posted that?Anyway anything I post can just take it`s own course whatever way it happens go-nothing is ever `expected`so it doesn`t matter what you DO!Where`s ur Lateral thinking,Lateral??

Yes - and it is fantastic isn't it John. 1979 - 32 years ago and yet absolutely timeless. It could be now - in fact he seems more now than he did even back then!

.....Revolution speech. My mate Mike:

"Right now, this afternoon, just 400 Americans - 400 - have more wealth than half of all Americans combined. Let me say that again.....Four hundred obscenely wealthy individuals, 400 little Mubaraks - most of whom benefited in some way from the multi-trillion-dollar taxpayer bailout of 2008 - now have more cash, stock and property than the assets of 155 million Americans combined."
