Chasing Dragons

If you enjoy Historical drama, I have just watched an excellent three-parter on Netflix called Gunpowder. It is an excellent dramatisation of the plot to murder King James on 5th November 1605. For those who are unaware of what that is, it is why we celebrate Bonfire Night (not because I was born on the 5th of November, but you can be forgiven for thinking it! 🤣).

Even better, for me at least, it was filmed around the area in which I live. It also features Liv Tyler.

I like hard rock but metal has the edge although Symphonic rather than heavy.

VHS or Betamax? (For those old enough to know the difference 🤭)

Chasing Dragons

Probably not. Having never been well off, I have an aversion to risking what I do have.

WYE Risk your life to help a stranger?

Yeah, I actually heard Air Supply's cover first for some reason and already liked the song but she packs quite a voice. Wish she hadn't been a one hit wonder (though I'm sure she has more out there if I look).

I have, for some time now, been rather ashamed of how many Canadians I am discovering through my interactions with European metal fans. I realize it is not really my fault. Our system is almost biased against metal but, dang, surely there must be markets for them somewhere here.

Jennifer Rush has released several albums over the years. The most recent being 2010, I believe. Although she has an incredible voice, none of the songs she recorded have anything like the impact of The Power of Love.

In the UK, if all we listened to was mainstream radio, we would never hear anything of Metal. It is not even particularly prevalent on the rock stations. I was introduced to Nightwish by a Belgian friend, which led to some wonderful discoveries by browsing YouTube.

McD's if I must but not fond of either. However, I hate BK. Can't even remember why now. Harvey's are my favourite fast food burgers.

Ketchup or gravy on fries?

If your BKs are like ours, they tend to be somewhat unkempt establishments, but I prefer their burgers.

Gravy on everything (Even on Fish and Chips!🤣).

So then, Fish and Chips: On a plate or out of the paper?

Chasing Dragons

Probably not, but never say never.

WYE Buy an album based on hearing just one song?

Chasing Dragons

Some wonderful music has come from Scandinavia. From Finland's neighbour, Norway, came Edward Grieg.

One of my favourite pieces is from the Peer Gynt Suite No.1 Op46. Morning's Mood

Chasing Dragons

So many have covered this song, some incredibly well, but... None have yet improved on the original. Jennifer Rush, The Power of Love.

Chasing Dragons

Nine lives better than eight.

(I asked my German friend if he knew what three times three equals. He said no!)

Chasing Dragons

No, never.

WYE buy something purely because their frequent advertising says you should?

Chasing Dragons

I prefer onion rings with beefburger. It feels right, somehow.

MacDonalds or Burger King?

Good album. I listened to it on the weekend. The one review I saw trashed it and I am not sure why. It's not likely to be my favourite album of the year or anything, but I enjoyed it.

I was the same. As one commenter mentioned on YouTube, they are improving with age. I like it more than their earlier offerings.
