Emeli Sandé sang a beautiful version of Read All About It, Part III at the closing of the London Olympics, and the line “we’re all wonderful, wonderful people so when did we all get so fearful?” has been running through my brain ever since.
(I’ve embedded the video link here, but you’ll see the Olympic Committee insist you go watch it on youtube….go on, click the link…it’s worth it!! The lyric in question comes in at the 2 minute mark….)
Dear Bob,
Emeli asks ‘when did we all get so fearful?’ On this subject and memory loss I have made a short film called ‘The diseased Other’ . . . it is NOT the usual biomedically reduced take . . . I must stress! Do take a look and feel free to post or comment.
I love the humanity in your posts. We need more like you in the world!
Aye,
