Not for me, but do you like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

Phil Collins took on full time singing duties on the album And Then There Were Three after Peter Gabriel left which I'd say was when he came to prominence. Each to their own but I'd say that was their last good album and they went downhill from there. The double live album Seconds Out is a masterpiece with them at their peak IMO. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist.

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where, uh, Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch is the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums.

Aberdeen’s pitch invasion at Livingston being in the intro makes me laugh more than it should

The measures were agreed with 28 politicians voting for and 27 voting against. It came despite politicians in the opposition uniting to oppose the plans. The public will be expected to show evidence of being fully vaccinated or having a recent negative Covid test. A senior Tory said before the vote that a member of his group was unable to get onto Zoom to take part in the vote. Nightclub industry representatives said it was a "shambles". If all opposition MSs had taken part the government would have lost in a tie, with the Tories, Lib Dems and Plaid all opposed. Health Minister Eluned Morgan told MSs not supporting the law "will be an act of gross irresponsibility", but Plaid Cymru had said it was open to exploitation. Protesters had gathered outside the Senedd's buildings on Tuesday evening, chanting "shame on you", following the result.

Same could go for the some of their staff who don't like it if you critzise FM in general.

So never?

Great news.

There is still a requirement for passengers to take a Covid test on the 2nd day after their arrival in Scotland.

FM: "Covid certification remains, in the Scottish Government’s view, a proportionate way of encouraging people to get vaccinated, and also of helping large events and night-time hospitality to keep operating during a potentially difficult winter." So basically either use vaccine passports or large events and night time hospitality will be closed.

Nicola Sturgeon begins her Covid update to parliament by giving the latest statistics on Covid cases and vaccinations. She says the number of cases is continuing to fall in Scotland and there is no need to introduce any tighter restrictions. But she says the level of infection does remain relatively high and so it is prudent to keep in place the remaining "mitigations" such as face coverings.

Shared Dalkeith.

At least Bebo and MSN are still up and running.

Great news.

Swinney: Some people will never get vaccine passport app to work https://news.stv.tv/politics/swinney-acknowledges-significant-problem-with-vaccine-passport-app?top "Responding to comments about people without valid identification being unable to use the app, Swinney said: “What you do then is you get a paper copy, so it’s not discriminatory in any way, shape or form.” So the app isn't needed then.
