Dearly Bewildered

Hello, the faithful!

> From the desk of parishioner Danny Baker comes the suggestion that we must all come face to face with rock's true legacy at http://menwholooklikeoldlesbians.blogspot.com

> They're calling it the hardest rock quiz of all time. Strong men reel back in the face of its challenge. You can't Google your way to success on this one. Go to http://tinyurl.com/5ymulh if you want to test your muscles.

> Yesterday was Record Store Day (http://www.recordstoreday.com/Home) in the USA. This would be a good excuse to rather belatedly pay tribute to the strangest record shops you have ever known, worked in or shopped in. What about the ones you suspected were money laundering operations? What about the ones that sold records alongside some particularly unlikely product? What about the place in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales that was up some stairs at the back of a cafe and was called "Stairway To Kevin" after its owner? Can you match that? We want to hear at mail@rockingvicar.com

> The BBC has spent our licence fee on working out what everybody in the world is listening to and talking about. You can find the top ten here. It might give you some ideas what to talk to the youth group about. Or it might just horrify you. http://tinyurl.com/43naox

> R.I.P. "Phantom" Danny Federici (1950-2008) - the man who contributed the glockenspiel sound to Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band for nearly forty years. There is always a special place in the parish's heart for anyone who makes a small but key contribution to the sound of a band. Any others? mail@rockingvicar.com

Pip pip!!
