Oh, I had *lots*. Possibly the best value for money I found was picking up Masters of Reality's Blue Album at a Hoof 'n' Holler flea market for $2.

"Kill the King" has long been a favourite; I hope you might enjoy it too.

Two birds sitting on a red brick fence on a cloudy day. We are looking at the south side of the fence so there is green mould like substance on most of the bricks. On the higher part of the fence is a magpie, looking to the left. On the lower part is a noisy miner looking up at the magpie, contemplating whether to attack it. In the background is a bitumen road, the kerb and gutter, and a small part of the footpath.

If this was a pantomime, there would be cries of "it's behind you!"
Round here the noisy miners see a larger bird and manage a few dives and the occasional swoop accompanied by a squawk or two, then they're off up the street.

I love podcasts but it's not a coincidence that the majority of ones I currently listen to started in the very early days of the medium. It's sad to me that so many launched now are just a lazy way for already famous people to make money. #aproposofnothing

"There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution

Our so-called leaders speak
With words they try to jail you
They subjugate the meek
But it's the rhetoric of failure

Where does the answer lie?
Living from day to day

"Exculpate" is a wonderful word, but part of me thinks it sounds like an Unforgivable Curse that magically teleports someone's skull out of their head into your hand (Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio!), and leaves it to deflate into a kind of eyeball / brain stew. #AproposOfNothing

The algorithm™️ seems to have learned that I’m not interested in stunted men who don’t think women should be allowed to talk about sports professionally.

I am still obliged to be aware of the existence of such “men,” so thanks for that. #aproposofnothing

While it's not universal across first-world nations, many nations set the limit of service to their high courts to a mandatory retirement age and/or term limits. For instance, Canada and the UK require retirement at 75, and Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand at 70.

I got locked in the toilet of my hotel room once - naked - and rang reception who sheepishly attended with a screwdriver to remove the lock. It was fortunate I had my phone - next call was emergency services. #aproposofnothing
