okay then, let's fucking do this.

right. it's sunday. time to leave the house, find a cafe and read the papers. oh, then i guess we should all turn up to the trafalgar studios and make some magic.

one final thing. personally, i think it's kind of our duty (for nights like tonight) to ask important questions about why these shootings happen, and to have an opinion on that. I don't think we can just sit down and say "yes but isn't it in bad taste?". Politicians and journalists and the media get to make judgement calls on what should be done/shouldn't be done all the time, and no-one says to them "you can't say that... what about the families?". obviously it is a difficult one to judge, because the public perception is that artists should keep their mouths shut about political issues and make no comment. after all, we just prance around and sing and dance, so we should leave any kind of politics to the people in power, right? hmmm. i don't want to upset anyone grieving, but we did the same thing after a bomb killed far more people in bali last year, and it was dealt with brilliantly. I think everyone has enough sense to respond empathetically and with dignity and taste.

On that note, best of luck everyone.
