    Black Sabbath to play final gig in July

    "Paranoid" (1970) It will be nice to see all four of them performing at Villa Park in July, especially when a couple of them have had health issues. I look forward to seeing other rock bands perform in their honour. It'll be like Glastonbury!

    Black Sabbath to play final gig in July

    I've often wondered what it would have been like when Black Sabbath burst onto the scene in 1968 - and especially when they released their debut album in 1970. What did people think?

    Super Bowl

    I watched it, even though the game finished at around 3:30am here. It's quite a good sport. I know the basics rules. The only downside is all the stoppages and every few minutes we were kept going to the ITV1 pundits in the New Orleans stadium. And around 45 minutes of shitty music being...
