“Ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann”

Sinead O’Connor 1966-2023

Living authentically in a society that punishes the truth requires great courage

“I don’t do anything in order to cause trouble. It just so happens that what I do naturally causes trouble. I’m proud to be a troublemaker”

“They laugh ’cause they know they’re untouchable
Not because what I said was wrong
Whatever it may bring
I will live by my own policies
I will sleep with a clear conscience
I will sleep in peace”

Jim Henson and @TheFrankOzJam talk to Russell Harty about The Dark Crystal (1983)

Random office conversation today started at the Matrix and went to Dr Who then Star Wars then to the Dark Crystal. That triggered a vague memory of an episode of the Russell Harty Show which I saw go out live where Jim Henson and Frank Oz were interviewed and I was sure that some of the actual creatures from the film came on stage and proper freaked the audience out. Surely I had made this up!

So I searched YouTube and there it was!

The final few moments where the creature smashed through the set and runs at the front row was the thing I remembered the most.
