If you ever go up to the top of Mt Eden, I highly recommend you do the following: walk down into the middle of the crater and lie down.
You will be rewarded by the quite amazing sight of the sky completely encircled by the vivid green banks of the crater. It *really* is awesome.

Going to gigs when you're over 40 really is a sobering experience. My mates and I are pretty happy just to stand at the back watching.
It is fun discovering / watching new bands / music, but also - and this is something I'm convinced of - music is demographic (for want of a better word).
By that I mean that you end up, rightly or wrongly, judging and comparing new bands to those you were fond of in your youth.You also end up widening your tastes, too. If you'd told me 20 years ago I'd end up dearly loving dub, soul, jazz, country, etc, and struggling with a lot of contemporary pop / rock, I'd have laughed you out the door. (Still can't abide metal, though...).

Adele's not my cuppa either, but she's nowhere near as tedious, dull and over-rated as Oasis.

Last week on, um, whatever his tv show at 7 is called, he was banging on about the flag vote and how we should change it.
"Change is good" he said. Presumably, he'll be happy to say we should also change the gov't in 2017, because, like he said, change is good. Then again, pigs might fly.
