Journey journey journey

If you're reading this you may have been directed to it from the iLike site. As you can see it was last summer when I went for a little road trip up through England and into Scotland.

I'm working on a rock opera, where the idea of a 'road movie' is put into- hopefully- a humorous context. My main inspiration was Pink Floyd's: The Wall and Frank Zappa's: Joe's Garage; funnily enough both released in 1979.
