I agree that that a strict linear way of looking at things doesn’t work. It is all about factors, conditions, politics, peoples pyches, religion, sequence of events, cycles, people and groups percieving causation and more cycles. I am watching the world and still trying to work it all out.

4. Jai – good one. of course everything feeds into everything else! structure and agency. might as well be time we all recognized that and things don’t work one way or linearly.

Yes and Yes. I knew him before Zep, and also for a while afterwards. I’ve got an old ‘Access all areas’ pass somewhere. I’ ve also got a Live Aid one, amongst others, but most of those were the late Chairman’s who was in the music business. I’d better stop now before Sunny tells me off for de-railing

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the bastard. But as a bass player more a fan of John paul jones, however, I’ve never seen a band where everyone one of them is a musical genius and actually create something constructive, maybe Tool!!!!!

Roger, I'm sorry, I don't agree with your analysis. I don't think Israel's actions are merely down to murderous incompetence; rather the murders, demolitions, enforced impoverishment and starvation, and the attempts at destroying civil society, are all part of longterm strategy to render Palestinian existence in Gaza unviable. Maybe Ali is just a bit more nuanced and intelligent (you may want to read the articles to debate him specifically) than you so-called ‘real’ Muslims want to admit. I'm not denying that Ali is a hugely intelligent and often very perceptive commentator, nor am I even remotely qualified to judge whether he is a real or true Muslim or not, I just disagree with the guy on certain things to do with politics. And yes, I have read his articles and commented on them, here on his rather negligent opinions on I/P and here on the contention he shares with you that it's "the fanatics not the foreign policy".

“I’m just prone to be wary of people who don’t like Led Zeppelin”

True, but not sure about Prince, even though he’s really gifted.

Chairwoman, are you serious????????????????????? You know Jimmy Page. Did you ever get to see the band??

That’s so cooooooooolll.

Love Coltrane, not keen on Prince, but Jimmy Page was a friend when we were young.

I’m just prone to be wary of people who don’t like Led Zeppelin or Prince or Coltrane or support the Euston Manifesto.

Well said. Especially the Zeppelin thing.;)

It’s all good. We’re talking about States of Islam. If ‘hal’ is a Muslim’s state of being, spiritually, philosophically, ontologically, cosmologically and hormonally then I dig and respect Eteraz’s state. He’s compassionate in the same way Hirsi Ali is self-serving.

I’m just prone to be wary of people who don’t like Led Zeppelin or Prince or Coltrane or support the Euston Manifesto.
