Oracle 1: Oracle 1

Oracle did well yesterday, offering me a free print subscription to the Economist. I was pleased. I like that magazine, but never quite enough to pay for it regularly. So I was feeling benevolent towards Oracle until I went to bed last night. There was a loud thumping noise. Was it our annoying neighbours with whom we have a feud? Nope, it was the Oracle party at the Cow Palace, two and a half miles away. It must have been horrendously loud. Lots of other people heard it too, but it's OK as we all live in the unfashionable south end of the city. And who was performing at the party? Lenny Kravitz? Of all rocks stars I may despise him the most for his blatant ripoffs of dead heroes .

  1. I've always found Lenny Kravitz's retro cheesiness kind of endearing.
