Previous | Next :: Wheels Down Atlanta : Roam if You Want To : Falkland Islands | January 27, 2012, 12:40 am

Its wheels down Atlanta.

As I was just coming through passport control........ they were playing this music out of their screens and loudspeakers........ Roam....... by the B-52's ......... some pieces of music are always always a particular place in and a particular time...... and even a particular person........ This song for me is always crazy Ken Lukowiak......... on a trip to the Falkland Islands down in the South Atlantic back in the early 1990's....... Ken is a mad writer friend........ he played this track on his walkman over and over......... everyday throughout the trip............

I see the politics of The Falklands/The Malvinas is getting back in the papers...... the 30th anniversary of the war the British forces fought against The Argentinean forces for control of these islands is coming up............ Ken fought in that war...........

I am too tired to think more about it right now........... maybe I'll post another Falklands/Malvinas one tomorrow.............. ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

PS........ Does anyone know why the Delta plane I flew on was bright pink ? I forgot to ask them............
