Has anyone noticed that the clocks change at the weekend?...and then... Having stepped from the wreckage of their 1968 Ford Galaxy American Police Car Rockman Rock and Kingboy D (The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu) found their Ice cream Van * Heading East up over the Pennine-straddling M62 - They pull the Ice-Cream Van onto the hard-shoulder * Behind them to the West - They can still make out the sprawling conurdation of Greater Manchester and those surrounding Lancashire towns - proud of their decline # Further West - somewhere beyond where Liverpool used to be - A dirty sunset sinks into the Irish Sea * To the East the sky is already dark * The Yorkshire Towns seeking solace in their Pennine Valleys * But up here on this unhealing gash across the backbone of England the immediate landscape is a desolate moorland - with none of the grandeur of the highlands or the classic English beauty of the lakes # Three bedraggled sheep huddle for shelter in a ditch * The drizzle toughrns - then climbs to a solid rain * Heavy goods vehicles plough by * Tacographs on overload * A leaded grime smears the verges * Sodden SIlk Cut Packets wonder whether they are bio-degrading * A Crow flies North # Through the downpour and diesel roar - Rockman and Kingboy D can feel a regular dull thud * Whether this is the eternal echo of a Victorian steam-driven revolution - or the turbo driven kick of a distant Northern Rave is irrelevant # Thus inspired - The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu climb into the back of their Ice-Cream Van and work # November 1990 _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus
