Today the 44th president of the United States has been inaugurated. (As) If you haven’t heard, Obama is to be the first African-American president. Interestingly Martin Luther King Jr predicted in 1964 that “in less than 40 years” an African-American would achieve the presidency. Not too shabby an estimation. I thought about writing something lengthier but I wasn’t sure what to put. Instead I’m just gonna say bloody good speech and let’s hope you can sort things out Obama, because you’ve made me believe you can!

This is the first time this year I’ve felt human enough to attempt a blog so forgive me if the subject
matter seems a little weak. I think the (proper) holiday I’ve been threatening for four or so years beckons – a battery recharge is required and no mistake. I know, I know, 2009 has to be the year when I start to act and DO things. Enough of me though, there’s something a lot more important going down…

If I had to name two festival highlights this year, it would be Rage Against The Machine’s angsty performance at Reading and Elbow’s beautiful, soaring epic at Glastonbury where everyone was still chanting their provocative “One Day Like This” long after the final chord and Guy’s last uplifting lyric. Rage were a band I’ve wanted to see since my big brother bought me their debut years ago, but while I’d heard Elbow and some of their tunes, I’d never – prior to this year’s Glasto, owned any of their records or seen them live.
