Hey, Ed, that's a very nice picture of the sunset.
Vandalism is the inspiration for the name of their band. I searched for the specific graffiti, and "Rudolf Hess, all alone, dancing the Spandau Ballet" means he was the last prisoner held captive and anticipated that his fate would be a worse death by either a Spandau machine gun or hanging. Ah, dark humor.
What an interesting music post and what? The Mad Scotsman's birthday is coming right up? I hope you'll have a nice cake and pure bliss... advance happy birthday, Ed!
Ian Gillan is also a Leo.

hey Ellie, how I love your replies as you actually read posts and go researching....
Yes Hess, parachuted into Scotland on his fluffing own in 1941 allegedly to negotiate peace with the UK. So yeah he was captured and then sentenced at the Nuremberg trials after WWII in 1946.
As you say he ended up being the lone prisoner until he committed suicide in 1966 ... the day in August was 17th August ... my birthday ... and talking of Leo musicians, Belinda Carlisle was also born on August 17th
There we go... cake beer and some fun days out over the next few days. So thank you and I hope you have a relaxing and fun time too!
Oh, Ed. I'm guilty of skimming..wish i had more time to read thoroughly, but whenever I see something interesting, I am target locked, lol.
Thanks for clarifying. So the "Dancing the Spandau Ballet" was just anticipation, Hess actually committed suicide. Y'know, I'm currently reading The Tattooist of Auschwitz, so this piece of information is very interesting. Thanks, Ed and to the @topcomment team.
I am a bona fide speed reader Ellie, so have no problem reading any amount of blogs when I put my mind to. Being a projects manager I would hundreds of docs reports drawings calcs etc to read comment approve daily so speed reading comes in handy! I have been to Auschwitz and deary me the feelings I had were something else, can't describe it. Shocking and the sad thing is over here it is happening again. But enough of that, I just googled Tattooist of Auschwitz, interesting and I wonder how accurate it is.
PS You were my very first comment that I curated for topcomment.... Have a magical weekend cute dragon!
Ah... masculine energy, the capacity to read and understand things objectively, which I truly admire. Feminine energy would, read, sit, absorb, cry, read again, and relapse, haha! Men actually make good historians and history teachers.
So, I juz got my syllabus for September, and I will be teaching History and Geography. Oh hell...the chillz when I saw "World War II"! Although I am completely familiar with it, most of my knowledge is subjective, so I've started reading books about the Holocaust.. mostly true stories. Of course, we can't teach children opinions.
I'm bracing myself because they are very sharp, highly observant, and extremely opinionated, lol. I know there will be some discussion about the ongoing geno... war (they said) because, well, it's somewhat connected, which is pretty sad. Like what you said, I wish we didn't have to explain another dark period to children as objectively as I can.
What I love about my job is that it's really grounding. I can't be overwhelmed because there are little minds relying on me. Y'know, you can't intoxicate their minds just because you have this idea and you want to instill it in them.
And thank you so much for being so thoughtful, you enjoy your birthday, Ed. 🍰
That is interesting about masculine and feminine energy. What about the gay men and women who fall in the opposite category. I guess the gay man just displays feminine energy.
History is absolutely fascinating. We learn so much, of course people try to hide it and warp it. Somehow I get the impression you are pretty fair and will tell things how they are, without trying to bend kids attitudes. Were in the west, all we get now is teachers at schools and universities indoctrinating kids into their leftie views, what they are doing is morally abhorrent!
Enough of my ranting.
Geography is cool, that and biology were two of my top subjects. Then we had to pick a foreign language to learn, I chose German which meant I had to drop Geography! What a bummer!
Have a magical weekend Ellie...
Oh how my ears hurt when kids give me attitude and talk back.. lol. I remember one time there's this student who rolled her eyes at me. I seriously wanted to reach through the computer and poke her eyes out haha.I know that they are slightly building their minds and making it fit into the real world, Ed. However, I want them to improve their arguments instead of just being emotional.
I was a victim of my history teacher too, and now I want to find her and lecture her about it... lol.
Biology... Science is my favorite subject. I'd always say I will no longer go back to school even if it's free, but the irony of my job is that I never actually left. Thank goodness we have good Math teachers because that subject is an absolut- NOT for me.
Ah.. German... you've got some good Bayerische Motoren Ver-kuh and Folks-vaghun accent, huh? Haha. Ah.. that's a long and very nice conversation, Ed!
