:: We went and saw Billy Elliot yesterday. I thought that it was beautifully done, and it reminded me in some ways, of Brassed Off: another very real and human story from that period in Britain.
:: I caught this piece from my Google-Reader, the premise is simple - turn off the technology for one day a week, (as the article says - ironically its blogged on here). Might be worth giving a go~!

There is something interesting going on, in stories like that - the way music or dance or some other creative/narrative practice can hold together when everything else is falling apart. I'm reading Oliver Sacks' "The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat" and he points out a number of instances where, for individuals, music or theatre did something similar.
