On #InternationalWomensDay my book reveals how women like Joan Eardley, Rachel Carson & Nan Shepherd were forerunners of #geopoetics, the creative expression of the #Earth. They & Marie-Claude White should be celebrated! Read normanbissell.com & bit.ly/NBShop.

The intro of the video for KANSAS is a recreation of the movie parade in Dodge City that Dennis Hopper's dad brought him to in 1939. And in 2025...vocal and guitar by Steve Earle, harmonica by Mickey Raphael. Two greats on a Waterboys record. Thankyou fellas.

In an era of fake news and oligarchs' control of the media, Bella Caledonia offers a radical alternative which is well worth reading, commenting on and supporting. More people power to your elbows, Bella!

Too right, Mike! Mr Brocklebank says it's OK for Rod Stewart to support racists like Trump's fanboy Farage, & before that Enoch Powell, but not for you to defend Bruce Springsteen's right to criticise fascist Trump at his concerts. Anyone else smell the reek of double standards?

NEW: Mayor of London Sadiq Khan backs calls for immediate UK recognition of Palestinian statehood. It’s a rapidly growing demand within the Labour Party which may prove harder and harder for Keir Starmer to resist.
