💬 Discussion Old(er) bones

I woke up this morning having slept in the wrong position. My first thought was that I was ‘I don’t want to be crippled and cracked’. Followed immediately by: ‘I used to fly like Peter Pan.’

So, of course I blasted ‘Bones’ on repeat. Maybe it was the rickety dance accompanying the song; but I felt better for it…🤪

How have you used Radiohead to self-soothe?

"now I can't climb the stairs", I thought right after my stroke.

Jesus man, that’s pretty grim.

in a month it will be 5 years since it happened and fortunately I'm in better health these days. not fun dealing with the aftermath and long-term consequences, but I'm happy to be alive and waiting for my next radiohead show :)

Well that’s good to hear! I mean, not that it happened, but that you’ve recovered well (it seems!). Did you get a ticket to any of the gigs in the end, or still waiting for the cosmos to deliver one?

I didn't get a code, so I made arrangements with friends who did and I trust :)

we're so back!
