What’s been intriguing me today?
Reality.
What is it?
Is there “a” reality or is it all subjective and determined by our own perception, prediction and interpretation. I think it's a word - like so many others - that has been hijacked – you see it used in order to dogmatically defend belief systems or stances and this plays into our susceptibility to certain narratives – we hear that phrase “well this is my reality” at the expense of those who are experiencing things in a very different way. It’s a massive subject that’s massively out of my depth but I think that when we talk about what each other has experienced, we need to show empathy and understanding at how we make our best predictions for what is going on around us.

The great thing about our brains though is how we draw on past experiences to create something new – I guess you’d call it imagination - and Johnny Manchild is using bucketloads of imagination in how he writes, plays and presents his music.
His wonderful band, Johnny Manchild and the Poor Bastards - like the bastard prodigy of Joe Jackson, Electric Light Orchestra, Trail of Dead and The Vines - have a new album out called Rapture Waltz and it’s a belter. I love how it draws on these apparently disparate influences to produce music that is as good as it is individual and defies categorisation - the scourge of how society has wired us to think.
