I used to think I belonged in medieval times, except now I think that I belong in a future that has a similar 'feel' about it, people going back to the land and living simple off-the-grid lives due to things like earthships and assembler/recyclers, free to live and create without the false trappings of "modern" society, without being forced to work pointless jobs we hate anyway for money we shouldn't have to need to survive.<br />Just my 2 cents really, but I'm so glad to find there are others out there who feel similarly temporally displaced!Tori Crossmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448511451375291944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595377920075277072.post-43213024561066419792011-11-29T14:33:02.373+00:002011-11-29T14:33:02.373+00:00The character in the penultimate photo looks like ...The character in the penultimate photo looks like a medaevil variant of Daevid Allen in his recent Zero the Hero costume!<br /><br />[If you missed the 2009 Gong shows, see http://www.egigs.co.uk/photos/2009/Gong-LemonGrove-091120-KW11.JPG]<br /><br />Come and Wodulate in Canterbubble!<br />mwMatthew Watkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02020901248989982916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595377920075277072.post-21818043195520075602011-11-28T21:57:38.260+00:002011-11-28T21:57:38.260+00:00I think you've got it spot on, and know the fe...I think you've got it spot on, and know the feeling too. In that bit of the past, whenever it was, when things were how they should be, I can be what I want to be, storyteller, musician - all the things I feel a bit awkward as the me of today. <br /><br />It was great to have brief catch up with you at Ludlow, and a pleasure to see you play as always. Thinking about what you've written I now realise why I felt a teeny bit out of place amongst the revelry there, as it would have been more natural to be part of it rather than an audience member of today. <br /><br />And, yes, it was bagpipes that helped me to find my comfortable place in the past.<br /><br />Tom xCheshire Pilgrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473180921836526757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595377920075277072.post-51230471080752427562011-11-28T20:25:52.787+00:002011-11-28T20:25:52.787+00:00That's it exactly!
