Hiroshima Yeah! # 138 August 2016 (zine)



One of the reasons I keep doing this is having the chance to read, appreciate and review my favorite zine, yes you`ve guessed it it`s Hiroshima Yeah! The cover star`s Sandy Denny (1947-1978) was a British folk singer. She sang with The Bunch, Fotheringay, Fairport Convention and she also guested on Led Zeppelin`s fourth album. Now we shall begin with poetry and `joy in diminishing returns`. Here are my favorite pieces
Not having
For me,
The freedom                               
Of not having
The job,
The wife,
The kids,
The car
Beats all of the above,
Hands down.
And
Destiny
I was always destined
To be someone
Staring out at the rain.
And finally
Natural end
For a while,
I was obsessed
With you,
Wrote love songs
About you,
Travelled miles
Each day
Just to drink
In the same pubs
As you.
But now,
Bumping into you
Outside a supermarket
As you push
Your granddaughter
In a trolley,
It feels good to know
That all obsessions
Come to their
Natural end.
Man I love this stuff. There`s also `13.82 billion years in hell` (Gary Simmons monthly column this time he explores the theme of the forgotten prisoner) and our monthly episode of `doctor Thornaby` (a readers nightmare that`s for sure). We are to treated with book and music reviews. We conclude things with `Mortimer ` (Mark Ritchie). A short story about hanging out with the wrong people and managing to escape.
