THE PRICE OF REWARDING TERRORISM

You do not defeat terrorism by rewarding terrorists, regardless of how many bleeding heart liberals argue otherwise. Want to know where that flawed approach leads to? Read UNIONISM DECAYED 1997-2007 - It's my first book and it explains what happens when you seeek to appease terrorists and call it peace. It's available right now for ATW readers so make sure you get your copy by emailing the editor! This is the book that dissents from the herd mentality that doing wrong can lead to being right. It doesn't and this book spells out WHY.

Can America Trust the BBC?

Songs for a Sunday - 08.11.09

DateSunday, November 8, 2009 at 08:06AM

Today's Songs for a Sunday is my last for three weeks.  It features a group of four boys from Manchester fronted by Peter Noone (ex Heartbeats), who were one of the biggest selling British bands of the 1960s in America.  The group had 14 US Top 20 singles and 17 in the UK, and six Top 20 US LPs and two in Britain.  They sold over 40 million records, made several films, then split in 1971.  They have played many revival shows and Peter, who now lives in California, hosted the US TV show My Generation back in 1989.

This week's offering was, surprisingly given their past successes, never released as a single in the United States.  It did, however, climb to the dizzy heights of number 2 in the British charts (kept off the top spot by the Beatles' Get Back) and number 6 in New Zealand.  It was, sadly, to be their penultimate entry in the UK Top 20.

Ladies and gentlemen, from April 1969, I give you Herman's Hermits singing 'My Sentimental Friend.'
