Suzy ....Astral Weeks...what's not to like?

I'm very disappointed in you suzy....You'll not be wanting to know that I replaced my worn out copy of Avalon Sunset only yesterday.

Parallel Lines coming up a lot...great album.Also for you late 30's out there,a burning question.
How come The Police were so brilliant yet Sting is now absolutely shit??? I can't work it out.

Dinosaur - dd has a book called 'I wish that I had Duck Feet', Dr Seuss I think.
