Love Takes Care from July 29th 2018

I forgot how much I liked this song and also forgot how much I really liked having Doc Neeson in the world. The doc died about 5 years ago and I've barely shrugged.

Loved this explosive, theatrical frontman of the angels was an important part of my early years. I saw The Angels last night with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra as I sat there with my sister and brother-in-law. Dave Gleeson could not be a better frontman now; comfortable in his own skin and feeling the need to prove nothing. But fuck I missed the doc.

It was very nice that the Brewster Brothers dedicated this song last night to Doc Neeson and Chris Bailey. And the song. When I first heard it in the 80s I thought of it as a love song to a girlfriend. But as it is for these things I find it equally applies to way I feel about my inner family - my inner circle - these days.

Sure, I am always off on my own tangent. I won't smother you, but I would never leave you lost or fending for yourself. My mum gave me the emotional room to make my own stupid decisions, for myself and grow. But I knew she was there for me. Love takes care of its own.
