Maybe I Didn't Treat You... Quite as Good

What the hell did poor Willie Nelson do to deserve this?

Although, as I walked to work this morning and I caught sight of it, I did laugh. When the kids were 6 and 3, their favourite song was "Going Underground" by the Jam.

We had a compliation tape which was re-wound and fast-forwarded every day we got in the car, and the kids would scream the lyrics at the top of their voices. The first few weeks, it was a riot. To watch a three year old try to get her wee mouth around Paul Weller's lyrics, and watch a 6 year old, re-enact them was hysterical. After 2 months. It became torture.

As we drove along the road one day, they howled to have it on again. GOING UNDERGROUND; GOING UNDERGROUND;. Si took the tape from from the cassette, rolled the window down, and we waved good bye to the Jam.

Sorry Paul.
