Saw Paul Weller perform live on Friday night at Newtown....wooohooo.

Same here, about a week ago in Adelaide - he's ageing well and he's got a fine bunch of musos. 

I have to lecture him about the smokes, though.

cheers

I reckon they were more props... he never seemed to inhale.... just sat them on the piano and let the smokesteadily rise.

you live in a town called Swastika?

SLAAKMAN · Post by **SLAAKMAN** » Fri Oct 29, 2010 3:46 am

I love it when people fight the power!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika,_Ontario

Swastika, Ontario
The town was named after the Swastika Gold Mine staked in the autumn of 1907 and incorporated on January 6, 1908. James and William Dusty staked the claims alongside Otto Lake for the Tavistock Mining Partnership. The Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway had an engineers' camp nearby as they had to construct two railway bridges as they advanced northwards. The first usage of the name Swastika occurred in their 1907 Annual Report to indicate a water tank was located at the site to meet the needs of the steam trains[2] that opened up northern Ontario.

Prospectors and miners flocked to the area and after viewing the find at the Swastika Gold Mine they advanced even further throughout the surrounding region. In 1909 the Lucky Cross Mine adjacent to the T.& N.O. railway tracks began producing gold. A Mr. Morrisson started a farm and lodging alongside the tracks as early as 1907 and from there the community developed.[2]

By 1911 a hotel and businesses were flourishing, the area to the east was heavily staked and the major gold mines of Kirkland Lake had been found and developed. Swastika was the main transportation link with the railway and communications centre. Churches, schools, community groups and organisations continued to provide the needs of the residents of the area.[2]

In 2008 the small community of Swastika celebrated the town's centennial.

World War II
During World War II the provincial government sought to change the town's name to Winston in honour of Winston Churchill, but the town refused, insisting that the town had held the name long before the Nazis co-opted the swastika symbol (卐). Residents of Swastika used to tell the story of how the Ontario Department of Highways would erect new signs on the roads at the edge of the town. At night the residents would tear these signs down and put up their own signs proclaiming the town to be "Swastika".

Christopher Macaulay, a direct descendant of Thomas Babington Macaulay, was instrumental in fighting to keep the name of the town unchanged despite the association with National Socialism.

Swastika has periodically been subject to derision for retaining the name. Local residents, however, have continued to resist a change.

Tourism
The Swastika area continues to support a strong tourist industry throughout the year. The summers are met with a number of anglers, hunters, and campers looking for adventure. Winters are especially popular as a result of the well-maintained snowmobile trails in the area. There are also a number of tourist destinations in the area, including the recently developed Hockey Heritage North in Kirkland Lake.

This calls for a little nostalgia;

I also like to listen to Enigma when I'm playing wargames. I swear I think Medieval Total War uses some of their work. At times I like to listen to Yanni as well. I remember when it was nothing but rock n roll in my teens and then one day I woke up from that bad dream.

Now of course I mean hard rock rock n roll. I still like soft rock like Pink Floyd and Moody Blues. But, I never got into Steppin Wolfe or that group that sang I AM IRON MAN dang can't remember their names. lol Wasn't Ozzie osborne a member of it? lol I think hard rock is a waste of energy and breath kinda like I do 99.9% of all Rapp. But, to each their own. So, I'll leave you with "It's My Party and I'll Cry if I Want to, Cry if I want to" lol
