40 years ago however I was in my final year of completing a really enjoyable degree in geography and was pretty familiar with everything that remotely made it near the charts. I think many of us of a certain age have kind of lost the plot when it comes to new music and what young people are listening to at the moment. Wherever we went there were hundreds of people and you got to know a great many of them during that first term. It was probably a really inefficient use of our time, but many happy hours were spent in the library sourcing material and copying it out in longhand before decanting to the refectory for food, or to the student bar for a very sociable drink. Back then the idea of gaining a degree without ever leaving your room would have been unthinkable. I fear the younger ones who would have been excited about ‘going to Uni’ back in September, will have been disappointed.Īt times like this I often hark back to when I last was a student, around 40 years ago. Lectures are now finished for the semester and only one assessment still to submit but I haven’t got to know a single person from the new class this year and only know what three of them look like (ironically the other more mature students). We seem to be just going through the motions to get the grades, and the institution appears to prefer it that way, so this will now be the future of higher education in my neck of the woods. My college course has all been online again this year, but no mention of NaNoWriMo this time around and few now drop by for the ‘live’ lectures. Considering I use this place as my web diary, as well as a place to share music from my past, probably best that I’ve stayed away for a while. My old life has gone and isn’t coming back any time soon. I don’t know about you, but I’ve not been a fan of 2021, which is ironic considering what hit us last year.

You can’t buy my love with money cause I never was that kind Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mineĪnd I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine I don’t want your lonely mansion with a tear in every roomĪll I want’s the love you promised beneath the haloed moonīut you think I should be happy with your money and your nameĪnd hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheating game Sadly, for mere mortals like us, the big, blousy, blonde wig is a non-starter – There would be ‘looks’ in the supermarket, it would blow off when out on a hill walk and I imagine your cranium would get very hot indeed. Back then, country music and big hair seemed to go hand in hand, and as the genre grew in popularity, we were treated to many other highly coiffed ladies of the country persuasion peppering our charts. Her song Jolene did really well on our Singles Chart reaching the No. The picture above was from that era in the early 1970s when we first got to know about her over here in the UK. At times I just want to shave it all off and go down the Dolly route, and have a big blousy wig cantilevered onto the top of my head – It didn’t take long to find a fair few pictures of her many looks from over the years. I seem to have fallen into the latter camp and it’s driving me mad. Unbeknownst to me until recently, a woman’s hair changes texture as they age – It can go grey and coarse, or become fine and baby soft. Mr WIAA now has very little hair left on the top of his head at all, but a short crop is perfectly normal for a man of his age and I think it suits him. When your hair is proving troublesome and you can’t do a thing with it, your confidence takes a bit of a hit, and you feel a bit blah. I don’t think this is something my male readership will understand, but my female readership definitely will.
