I think you may be oversimplifying Russell’s nascent beliefs here. His approach seems nuanced and questioning and open. I don’t get the impression he’s focusing heavily on the ‘right versus wrong’ judgemental aspects of God, and on an over literal interpretation of the teachings. I’d suggest...

Russell is serious about this stuff, he is I think genuinely spiritually motivated and driven. Of course it’s so easy to laugh …… etcetera

Yes, I too had another 30 or so painfully left out…… in fact many more ….. to try to assuage the pain I think I’m going to list the next 30 …. can’t stop myself …….. sorry! Half a person Istanbul The boy with the thorn in his side Vicar in a tutu Rebels without applause When you open...

Impossible task really …. as his oeuvre is really an embarrassment of riches - but for what it’s worth and because I too like making lists and treasuring these songs like exquisite jewels in my mind …. here goes …. There is a light that never goes out I know it’s over You have killed me...

Yes …. just love that …. and of course when he sings: ‘There is no point saying this again’, pointing out that there’s no point saying this again, and then immediately goes on do that very thing, to repeat that line itself: ‘There is no point saying this again’. Brilliant, and hilarious. My...

Yes, I agree, they are great, really enjoyed seeing them.

I think Russell has become seriously interested in Christianity in recent times, after many years of enthusiastic spiritual exploration and seeking, and many years of recovery in the 12 step programme. He is praying daily, saying the rosary, fasting, really getting into it all, particularly...

Great assessment, FWD, thank you. Small typo I think = Dog on a Chain came out on March 2020, not March 2022

Also: Oh, please fulfill me Otherwise kill me Show me a barrel and watch me scrape it Faced with the music as always I’ll face it In the half-light So English, frowning Then at midnight I Can’t get you out of my head A disenchanted taste Still running ‘round A disenchanted taste Still running...

This is the one I thought of straight away too. Then instead of posting it I just started listening to the song over and over again ……. simply stunning track.

I definitely agree you don't want either of them if you can help it! I meant I think the 2 conditions - fibromyalgia and m.e. - have many symptoms in common, not that they have the same symptoms. I have known people diagnosed with both. Also Long Covid has many similarities with M.E. but the...

I've had a very different experience. I have personal experience of M.E., and I also know many people who have suffered/continue to suffer from it, my partner was Chief executive of Action for M.E. and I worked for years for a charity that held residential weeks to try to help sufferers. The...

M.E. also involves constant widespread pain. There are similarities between the conditions as you saying and both can involve excessive and long-lasting pain all over the body.
