Highlight Of The Decade

I said it 12 months ago in these pages but I'm still pinching myself that same-sex marriage is a thing, now! Also, after all these years of being a music fan, writing for this fine magazine and meeting many of my idols, it's nice to know meeting the likes of DJ Shadow, Howard Jones and Peter Hook can still result in me stammering like I've forgotten 99.5% of my vocabulary.

Prediction For Next Decade

I hate to be a doom-monger but I'm glad I'm not a parent 'cause my kids would be deeply resentful of the world we'd be leaving 'em. On the plus side, airlines such as Qantas are finally starting to make serious efforts to make significant reductions in their waste and energy expenditure. Environmentally responsible corporate actions are possible. More... much more, please!
