Jun 14: Just for one day

The track 'Heroes' is taken from David Bowie's album. We can all be heroes, just for one day....



Why not be a hero and help out the development of the blog by filling in one of my Google Forms.

Songs with cities in their titles.

Songs about our changing climate or environmental damage.

Your favourite protest songs.

A song with a colour in the title.

A song with a number in the title.

Let me know which bands your streaming algorithm throws up when you type in the letters A - Z

Your favourite film soundtrack music

Tell me about the first gig you attended.

Share album covers which feature geographical features of some kind... human or physical.

Have you ever been to the Glastonbury Festival? Please tell me all about it....

What are your memories of Live Aid in 1985 - were you there? Did you watch? Whose performances can you remember?

Please share the locations and images of music related street art that you've seen...

Please share your favourite, oldest or most interesting tour t-shirts in your collection.

What are the best TV theme tunes?

And finally, if you're feeling particularly helpful... fill in the original form from the start of the blog. This has about a dozen questions.
