Youthwork the conference
I had a good day at Youthwork the conference although if I ever say I am going to drive there and back in a day again you need to hit me repeatedly with a rolled up copy of youthwork the magazine!
On the drive there I was listening to some MP3s, one of the tracks that played 'randomly' was "Is she really going out with him?" by Joe Jackon. As I listened to it I mused that if anyone ever asked me what I considered to be the best first line of a song I would probably cite this song, the opening line being, "Pretty women out walking with Gorillas down my street!"
Weirdly when I returned to my car this afternoon and the Stuart Maconie show came on, the first thing he said was, "I've a text here that says the best first line of a song has to be, "Pretty women out walking with Gorillas down my street!"
Absolutely true and everso slightly weird. In turns out that one of the debates on the show that afternoon was best first lines from songs!

...as featured on "The best punk album in the world ever" rather bizarrely.
