  • Field Theory: Four Years Ago,

    I can only hope Graham Henry has learnt something in the last four years.

    I heard him on the news the other day say that he's learned not to take it one game at a time. I still don't understand that.

    They argue that it's countered by the "choke" factor, but the home ground advantage for the ABs is really pronounced

    Sorry, but the choke factor is also really pronounced.

    What gets me every time is that on paper we look like we should win.

    No, we don't.

  • Hard News: Those were different times ...,

    I remember - and I might have mentioned this before - some young chubby guy being interviewed on brekky telly by Kate Hawkesby when Love brought whichever touring circus he was touting as The Beach Boys at the time, to NZ for a vineyard show, in the early 2000s.

    A member of "The Beach Boys" said she.

    Kate (or was it Alison Mau?) then asked the 25 year old what it was like playing all those fabulous songs in the 1960s. He didn't quite know what to say.

    Jeff Foskett (b. 1956). I met him once and he told me the charming story of how he first met Brian, which went much like this:

    I met Brian in 1976 as a birthday present to myself. It was Feb. 17 my 20th B-Day and I decided to drive to Bel Air and find Brian's house. I knew that he lived on Bellagio Road and I knew that the Wild Honey album sleeve was a photo of the stained glass window in the front room of his house. All I had to do was drive up and down Bellagio Road until I spotted the window. I did and went to the white fence, moved the gate and drove thru on the left side...I walked right in and found him in his house somewhere, keeping busy...

    The worst thing he did (okay your story was pretty vile but...) was suing Brian Wilson for half the writer's copyright on Beach Boys songs he played no part in writing.

    Absolutely true, but "the worst thing he did?" That's a mighty big call.

    So I'm just wondering why the auto-assessment of when things were posted is half a day out of whack?

    That'll likely be your clock that's out, Ian. Same has happened to me.

  • Hard News: Everybody's News,

    True fact: there was a 90s spinoff series called The New WKRP in Cincinnati.

    Jeez! You're right. I'd totally forgotten about that.

  • Hard News: Complaint and culture,

    How do I get myself appointed to the BSA? I need a job with healthy remuneration and only occasional meetings, and they obviously need some help. Win/win situation!
