"I remember when
I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions have an echo in so much space
And when you're out there without care
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Possibly."
I remember when sport in New Zealand was reported on a local, regional and national level and, when New Zealand teams or athletes were overseas, on an international level.
We never heard of other countries' sports unless they were part of the olympics or the Commonwealth games or unless New Zealanders were competing against them. Golf and tennis were the exceptions and, among English immigrants, English football.
Today we are inundated with British, European and South American football, American baseball, basketball and American football and Australian rules and rugby league. What's wrong with people? Are they crazy?
For the last few weeks our news, and not just sports news has been dominated by the bloody American Super Bowl (American football). Who the fuck cares? Well, lots of people unfortunately. All sorts of dweebs are coming out of the woodwork supporting one team or another and pretending to be experts on the sport, the leagues, the teams and the players. I blame social media ...
... and this bint.
How on earth Taylor Swift got to be so popular, rich and powerful is anyone's guess. OK, OK, I know - 'pop' stars have for decades been given too much recognition and money.
What's wrong with people?
I blame social media.

I don't think I've ever heard Taylor Swift. I'll have a listen now...
...back in a sec...
...no. Sorry but I didn't seem to know any of the songs I listened to.
Oh well, she seems to have done well for herself. Well done.
As a teenager I remember we had to sit through hours of bloody Yankee golf to see a detective show we liked. It might have been Mannix, but I can't remember.
Sam Snead was the golfer I think.
Tony copied him but it didn’t do much good.
I’ve no objection to Taylor Swift doing well in her career but this ridiculous hero worshipping verges on cult following.
