Goteborg Rock City!

I am keenly looking forward to getting the hell outta Dodge (that's London) to play an acoustic set next week in Gothenburg... all the action (acoustic action) will unfold at a club I have played before, Rock City's Rockbaren:

www.rock-city.se & www.rockbaren.com
Kristinelundsgatan 14,
41137 Göteborg

10 PM. Featuring several new songs of the 'Reckoning' Ltd. Ed. album, of which a few numbered & signed copies will be on sale...

It should be said that this gig would not happen if it wasn't for the amazing efforts and dedication of my good good friend Janne Prusti from Goteborg's Chuck Norris Experiment.

Incidentally, I should add that I am quite disgusted at the fees increase that Ryanair is charging for musical instruments. In retrospect it might have been cheaper to book my Gibson an extra seat than to pay another 25 pounds...

But hey a good Neil Leyton day isn't complete without some level of complaint or another, huh? 'Tis in my nature.

Last night in bed, however, I though of a good quote that I once read in John Cougar Mellencamp's Lonesome Jubilee album... and it shall be my motto for this London weekend prior to the Sweden trip. Sit down for this, as I don't often quote from religious texts and generally consider them to be quite dull. With that disclaimer in hand, I can appreciate and share the beauty of this passage...

"What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose. The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits. All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again. All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing...

...There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour." - Ecclesiastes I & II
