While I was watching a country music channel quite a few years back, I was captivated by Chris Isaak's video for "Somebody's Crying". It wasn't just the video that had me interested, although Issak is always very handsome, and he appeared to be very much so during the footage, but rather the song. I have been a fan of Isaak's ever since his work with David Lynch on the "Wild at Heart" Soundtrack. His "Wicked Game" is a pure and haunting classic. It is clearly washed in the songs of yesterday that inspired Isaak, such performers as Roy Orbison and Elvis.
Loving "Somebody's Crying", I started looking for the album it would appear on. I found out that it was an album entitled "Forever Blue". Along with expecting and awaiting its release date, I found out the story behind many of the songs that would be featured on the album ...
Advantages: Gives a Good Insight Into Policing in the UK Disadvantages: Quite a Negative Book
I recently read Wasting Police Time by David Copperfield (not the author's real name). It was a hilarious read but also exposed the shocking insight of what the British Police have to deal with on an almost daily basis.
PC Copperfield's writing is full of sarcasm and I found the book quite negative, but he had me laughing out loud and I was even reading extracts to my family and partner.

Advantages: Interesting topic Disadvantages: Dull in places
today's society; mainly the whole issue of when a death is allowed in the name of war and when it becomes a crime, but also the issue of ex-soldiers coping with the fall-out of war in a society that would rather forget their existence. Looking at it from the point of view of the Japanese, who of course lost the War, made it all the more poignant and made me wonder that if we had lost the Second World War, whether we would have been so eager to go back to war. This isn't the place to comment on the futility of war, but this book certainly made me think about it.
The author clearly has a great deal of expertise in military equipment and history, which made the book seem very realistic, but did also alter the flow of the story quite a lot. Chapter 3 of the book concentrated mainly on the military campaigns of the War and the B-29s that were ...
