Me on the stage!

I am now a thespian.. apparently….

John’s recent trip to NYC reinforced his beliefs that despite great respect for the victims of the events of September 11, the majority of thinking Americans want to move on but also analyse what has been learned from the world events of the last decade. Head On is a political song in the modern sense of the word. John’s reputation for observation and contextualising contemporary issues is exemplified by his description of a small child watching the execution of Saddam Hussein on a mobile phone. The chorus of the song “Oh my God an Armageddon, time to screw another head on”, represents John’s view that the world must adopt a new way of thinking to come to terms with the last ten years and indeed the future. The rest of the chorus, “Now’s the time, make up your mind, someone else made mine – We will remember them”, sums this up pretty clearly.

John’s recent ‘In the Name of Good’ poem is another illustration of how he looks at the last decade of world events.
