I keep encountering these wonderful versions of “Sweet Dreams”. Here’s the latest discovery! You’re gonna LOVE these gorgeous and massively talented young peeps!
Sinead …
You bared your soul…
Shared your brilliance
Through exquisite artistry
Your incredible voice..
Fierce and fragile
Lioness and lamb
Sweet singing bird
Keenly tuned
Trembling..
Tip-toeing along the high wire
Or stamping the ground
Raw
Wounded
Fearless …
It’s almost impossible to believe that ‘Sweet Dreams are Made of This’ was released forty years ago! It has continued to travel the world and the seven seas ever since, which is a wonderful and miraculous story all to itself!

I was honoured to be asked to design Scotland’s First Minister - Nicola Sturgeon‘s Christmas card this year, so the image of this stranded polar bear on a melting ice cap came to mind as a symbol of the existential issue of Global Emergency....
…Impulsive
Bold and beautiful
Truth teller
Singer of songs
Crazy wisdom
Power house
Shaman
Priest and Priestess
Unafraid..
May the angels hold you
In their tender arms
And give you rest
In peace…❤️
Dear Friends, Tomorrow’s case at the ICJ between South Africa and Israel will be absolutely crucial in terms of the protection of human rights for ALL of humanity.

Oh my GOD!!!
I saw this for the first time a couple of days ago...
It’s amazing from my perspective,
watching these two incredible young guys picking up on Sweet Dreams - recorded in ‘83 THAT’S where the true power of music lies...
A bridge to the soul and intellect!
Songs are like ships…
They have their own particular voyages and destinations.. Once they’ve been launched, there’s no turning back. You just have to follow the journey.
As the One and Only ‘Queen of Soul’ Aretha Franklin was simply peerless. She has reigned supreme. and will always be held in the highest firmament of stars as the most exceptional vocalist, performer and recording artist the world has ever been privilege…
Many of you have been asking what you can do to help the people of Palestine - Should you be as concerned as I am about the atrocities taking place across Gaza right now I would urge you to consider taking this action.

It had to happen! Some clever person has created a series of ‘then and now’ images.. The younger one is so defended, while the older version has allowed herself to become more at ease through the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune..
I want future generations to be able to look back and say, “We changed the course of history and avoided global catastrophe. Leaders decided to take climate change seriously. They did the right thing and took action.”

The most stunning, radiant bride you’ve ever seen... I hope the press give this bright, beautiful young woman her human entitlement to decent boundaries and privacy.

Quite a few years ago now, I shared the bill with Mister Sting on the ‘Sacred Love’ tour.
It was a wonderful experience.
Sting and his band were immensely kind and generous with us and there was a great feeling of camaraderie between everyone. After my s…
I’ve just read this article from The Guardian that I want to share today. It’s a glimmer of HOPE after the despair of the devastation of the AMAZON and her indigenous people.
Finally! Please take a moment to read this!
So.. I went into this shop yesterday and at the counter I saw two red dice and a notice saying that if you threw the dice and came up with double one’s you’d win a free candle. I’m not a gambler, but I had a go and rolled the dice ....!!!! 😀
I just came across this picture.. No recollection of where, when or what was happening at the time. The street looks like my home town of Aberdeen.. Time passes folks. Seize the day!
Throwback to FOUR years ago… way before the pandemic. I was trying to promote the term ‘Global Feminism’ at a special event for high level powerful women in Los Angeles. So many things have changed and taken shape since then and…

Inner Annie Lennox of the Eighties.. She’s gone - but not gone..
She’s exactly how I felt then and still feel now.. Gender bender?? A somewhat clumsy label for a ‘cis’ woman who looked ambiguously androgynous.. So many changes since then.. If I need a la…
I stepped outside for the first time since New Year today.

Peter Green, composer of the most incredibly beautiful haunting songs has passed on from this world.
He couldn’t handle the intensity of the music industry & left the band before they rocketed to global super stardom.
What a beautiful legacy of songs he’s left behind..
RIP sir.
