Day 109: Royals, Lorde
So many great female artists around at the moment. A song with interesting lyrics based on the class theme that certainly dominates British society.

Day 108: Rehab, Amy Winehouse
My first job was working in a Drug and Alcohol Unit at Westmead hospital. The issues around illicit drug use are certainly not straight forward and sadly even those who are talented and famous are not safe from their possible ultimate consequences. This song by Amy Winehouse turned out to be a portent to her

Day 107: Smile, Lily Allen
A woman scorned as they say. I like the line “so you call me up on the phone so you can have a little whine and a moan” Cute! The video however is pretty dark. Think you would think twice before dating Lily.

Day 103: One night in Bangkok, Chess
Over the years I have had a love/hate relationship with chess. A game I would love to be good at but alas stuck at a rating of about 1200. Great musical though.

Day 102: One day more, Les Misérables
I fell in love with this musical in my twenties when I first saw a performance of it out doors in Sydney. It even stimulated me to read Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables which is a very loooong book and is much darker than even the musical.

Day 101: Gethsemane, Jesus Christ Superstar
This week the theme is going to be musicals. The first musical I fell in love with was Jesus Christ Superstar. As I have alluded to elsewhere, it was through this musical that I was first drawn to Christ even though most Christians would recognise that the musical portrayal of Jesus is not really Biblical
