we looked around the diner tonight & noticed that practically everyone else in the joint was fat & not just fat but obese....huge waists, quadruple chins & big chubby faces
now don't get me wrong I'm not fattist & if they are happy, so be it but compared to your average European there is a definite girth advantage over here & then we looked at our plates - huge portions, millionsof calories & this was with us just slecting a main course - no appetisers & no desserts
it would be insanely easy to pile on the lb's out here & that is the problem - obtaining food is no problem & in most of the places littering the cities it's not about taste, it's about bulk
of course it's easy to find good restaurants if you are in a city like Toronto but it's even easier to find yourswelf in one of the many, many well designed comfortable chains out here - no doubt tucking into your mountain of ribs & fries with a chocolate, cream & god knows what else chaser
calories are definitely cheap out here
at No. 20 in my tunes of the year is an old man, a legendary figure who played bass in one of the greatest bands to come out of the US in the sixties - Chris Hillman may not be a name known by everyone but he had staying power in the ever changing line up's of The Byrds between, oh i reckon, 64 & 73 - the lifespan of this wonderul group.
well this year Chris released a new LP with a liberal sprinkling of mellow, countrified tunes & i really love the opening track, his re-invention of a Byrds classic - Eight Miles High - his reworking of this song, presents it as if The Byrds had delayed it's original release by a few years & placed it on "Sweetheart of The Rodeo".
No. 20 - Chris Hillman - Eight Miles High
