My Son, Hugo, turns 3 today. He continues to be an eternal source of delight, wonder, awe, surprise, concern, education and frustration. It’s hard not to feel totally inadequate for the task of parenting when you consider the magnitude of the responsibility… but with each day you get another chance of doing a better job of it than you did the day before.
His Mum amazed me with her strength and beauty on the evening he was born. She still does today…. on a day which is as much hers as it is his.
Happy Birthday, Hugo!

Of course these kinds of stories never apply to artists who appeal to grown ups, but the young punks of today are the bored middle-aged people of tomorrow. Makes me glad I don’t have shares in a record company!
