It was, as it turns out, too much reading
I once read 3 newspapers a day and 3 or 4 weekly news magazines regularly...
I could have told you the name of the King of Pingo-Pango, the current Terrorist Alert level, which star was currently in re-hab and any number of other bits of horseshit that matter not at all
One day it dawned on me...
Pay the bills, cuddle the family, keep the cupboard stocked and guns at the ready...let the world burn itself down if it wishes
I am happier for not following the so called 'news' these days
Its all a bunch of nonsense and horrible stories
I have movies for that;)

I was bored with Time Magazine, and when they gave my idol Michael Jackson 1 star for his album Invincible, I was done.
