Neo that is real cool how you played  Phill's song.      Bonza performance.     

Cheers TF and Eb for your comments I think  schools should teach kids a healthy cynicism and a need to  not believe all they hear.
Exaggeration in the mass media seems to be common. False or inaccurate information, especially that which is deliberately intended to deceive.seems to me to be prevelant and not only spread by the media but also political parties worldwide. Political marketing is now a fundamental part of political life. Presidents and Prime Ministers; politicians and parties; government departments and councils all use marketing in their pursuit of political goals. As it takes experience and training to "spin" an issue, spinning is typically a service provided by paid media advisors and media consultants.  Many of the largest and most powerful companies have in-house employees and sophisticated units with expertise in spinning issues.  Spin approaches used by many political teams include "burying" potentially negative new information by releasing it at the end of the workday on the last day before a long weekend; selectively cherry picking quotes from previous speeches made by an opposing politician to give the impression that they advocate a certain position; and purposely leaking misinformation about an opposing politician or candidate that casts them in a negative light.

Gary was brilliant he drank himself to death which was a sad loss.

Jim great song about love that has slipped  away.
Jeff that is  an excellent cover,     

Here in New Zealand we have more University graduates then we need and not enough skilled people in the building trades. Your words Jeff I think would resonate with many  down here in NZ.
