Travelling between Islamabad and Skardu in the northern region of Pakistan, it is always preferable to fly, but quite often weather conditions preclude that option. Consequently, there have been four occasions when I have had the ‘joy’ of travelling (24 hours in each direction) on the Karakoram Highway, each time passing sections similar to that shown in the video. Usually the tyres on the vehicles have seen better days (now slicks). It can be quite scary to look over the edge to see the raging River Indus 500 feet below… and last year’s tour bus!

Warren Zevon - Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner
Letterman was a huge fan, and this was the last time Zevon performed on his show. It was public knowledge that Zevon had terminal lung cancer - he died just under a year later.

Sorry for the grainy footage…
Some great footage of Jack Ruby’s Sound System circa 1981 with Dee-Jays Charlie Chaplin, Bobby Culture and the late great singer Mickey Simpson…
An edit of this footage appeared in the legendary documentary Deep Roots Music first aired on the fledgling Channel 4
John Adams - Batter My Heart
From the opera Doctor Atomic, Gerald Finley singing, words by John Donne. I’m not a hue fan of Adams, but I find this very moving. Finley nails the performance.
