Three lyrics away from The Holy Grail ...

That's how close I am.

'Mikey, are we talking about the elixir of rock and roll immortality?' Ha! We certainly are, my little invisible friend.

My kooks.

And you know how long I've searched, and how hard I've searched ... in the desert of my life, which is actually the desert of modern life BECAUSE there is hardly any glory for anyone these days.

'That's the awful truth. Listen to him.'

It's possible I will move The Future up a few places on the BIG TEN list. Maybe as high as sixth place.

I need a cool lyric. 'How cool?' As cool as a cucumber.

The structure of a song is really important. However, you have to be careful. You can overdo it. With the original version of The Future, I underdid it.

And I can hear the band in my head. And I can hear the backing singers. It's gonna be scary!

On the second album, of course.

'The second?!'

Yeah. This is the first album -

This World Don't Mean a Thing

Lucky You

Mighty Soul

Shady, Dodgy, Shifty

Round The Bend

What's This Life We Live?

Stella

Malibu

I'm Right Inside

Nothing

Life and Death

'And what does that sound like in your head?'

You wouldn't believe me if I told you, Voice. No one would. Maybe I should maintain radio silence from now on ...

Bye!

Kroll appointed administrators

Fair enough. / Music?

No?

Okay ...

Kroll appointed Administrators to Philips Trust Corporation Limited ("the Company").

'Oh, now we're hearing the whole story.'

Shut up!

Geoff Bouchier and Jimmy Saunders, both of Kroll, were appointed Joint Administrators of Philips Trust Corporation Limited ("the Company") on 22 April 2022. 

So?

The Company, which is based in Manchester and was incorporated in 2017, was established to provide corporate trustee and estate-planning services to consumers. It administers approximately 2,400 trusts, each of which holds either residential property, cash investments or both.

Fine. But what does Geoff say???

Geoff Bouchier, Joint Administrator, states: "There has been concern regarding the Company's affairs for several months so it will be a relief for the Company's clients and creditors that independent professionals have now been appointed to the Company. We are immediately undertaking a review of the Company's financial position and that of the clients' estate and trusts with a view to updating the Court with our key findings, including the proposed methodology to deal with the ongoing administering of the trusts and proposal for distributing trust assets to clients."

Well, good luck, Geoff!

The Joint Administrators will be contacting clients and creditors of the Company formally in due course confirming the appointment and setting out the next steps. 

Fair enough.

Anything else? Music?!

I've been rehearsing The Future with the new structure and without the finished lyric and it's a badass rock song of roughly five and a half minutes and it's pretty much a Smells Like Teen Spirit situation which means it's far more powerful than your average rock song and ... it definitely deserves its tenth place on the BIG TEN list. That's basically what I'm saying. Well, I just said it.

...

Oh, Christ ... you know those greatest songs of all time lists on the internet? Most of them are bloody ridiculous. 'It's all subjective, boss.' I know, Voice, I know. But some people have absolutely no taste or discernment at all. I'm talking ... NONE!!!

That's why - as an artist - you need a BIG TEN of songs, and maybe even a BIG TWENTY ... with ballads, and rock songs, and pop songs, all sorts. And don't concern yourself with writing "The Greatest Song Ever" ... it can't be done. There's safety in numbers when it comes to great songs. Really great songs. And you need ten. You need twenty. You need to keep going ... forever!

'But when do you rest???'

After the final curtain, man.

'Oh.'

You dig?

Laters.

It's a PR email from Vauban.

'Oh dear.'

Ha!

Never mind.

Will enable to finance? Fair enough. 'Was that Lucky?' We haven't got to Lucky yet, Voice.

Lucky?

Lucky?

'He's run out of words, boss.'

Well, well ... that hasn't happened before, has it? I normally have to stop him.

'Maybe he's learning.'

Learning what, Voice?

'Always leave them wanting more.'

Ha, ha, ha!

I didn't want any of it, frankly.

...

Anything else?

There's nothing else.

Just nothing.

Be thankful.

My farewell fandango for the groover ... ???

Farewell!

Yes. 'When?' Soon. The last one. The very last one. A final farewell to a normal life. Can I do it? I will do it!

When? The end of this week? I don't know.

St Ives. The sea. The sand. The cliffs. The seagulls chasing me for my mint ice cream. Ha, ha, ha! I don't care.

Then when I get back home ... just music, that's all, all the time. I'll have to come back home. Unless I do a Bodhi. Oh, I'll come back home.

BUT(!) ...

I want to stare at the sea first. I want the wind in my hair. I want to look for dolphins, and seals ... maybe even basking sharks. 'Those big freaks!'

I want to meet the Owlman. He won't hurt me because I'll have a few pasties for him. If you feed him, he's very friendly. Well, that's what I imagine.

If St Ives is booked up??? Torquay in Devon??? Well, anything is possible. I've never been to Torquay before.

My twenty-fifth holiday in Cornwall will be nice though. It's a nice number. Twenty-five. Don't you think?

It's just a shame I can't go for eight weeks again ... 'Don't torment yourself, Mikey.' Okay, Voice, okay. I won't.

(I might, a bit.)

Maybe I could stay there forever. Maybe the Owlman will let me stay with him. We could become bosom buddies.

I wonder where he lives? 'In a tree.' Ha!

But I'll come back home, probably, knowing my luck. Back to the city. The only escape is rock and roll ...

Listen! After I've got my BIG TEN with eight supporting songs ... I'll try to be more prolific.

Those eighteen songs are just the base I'll be starting from.

It's the BIG TEN that will give me a "career", but I'd love a BIG TWENTY, eventually.

I won't stop.

I want to be the true Picasso of song.

And twenty years from now, if I'm still fit and healthy - the way Picasso was in his seventies ...

That will be my escape.

Do you dig?

I'll be totally GONE - !!!

Anyway ...

I'm not sure I'm making the most of The Future. If I change the structure, it might be good enough to go in tenth place in my BIG TEN ...

I think I'll have to finish the lyric first. 'I thought you were going to write another song like Mighty Soul or Shady, Dodgy, Shifty?' Yeah, you try it, man. 'Well, I'm not a genius, am I?' Ha!

I must match this BIG TEN -

Refinitiv Lipper: European ETF market report - Q1 2022

Yippee!

'Why are you so excited, boss?'

Er ... I don't know.

'Well ...'

Never mind.

Anyway ...

ETF promoters in Europe experienced estimated net inflows of €38.3 bn for Q1 2022.

Assets under management in the European ETF industry increased over the course of Q1 2022 to €1,334.1 bn.

Equity ETFs (+€30.1 bn) posted the highest estimated net inflows in the European ETF industry for Q1 2022.

The best-selling Lipper global classification for Q1 2022 was Equity US (+€10.1 bn), followed by Equity Global (+€10.1 bn) and Bond USD Government (+€4.4 bn).

iShares was the best-selling ETF promoter in Europe for Q1 2022 (+€16.3 bn), ahead of Amundi ETF (+€8.6 bn) and Invesco (+€4.0 bn).

Fine.

Detlef? What do you reckon?

Detlef Glow, Head of EMEA Research at Refinitiv Lipper, comments: "Despite the current situation in Ukraine, Q1 2022 was another positive quarter for the European ETF industry since promoters enjoyed inflows. These inflows occurred in a volatile and negative market environment in which investor sentiment was impacted by increasing inflation rates, geopolitical tensions and the still ongoing The Thing in Europe and other parts of the world."

Oh, okay.

...

Listen to me ...

I can't be manipulated any more by anyone or anything.

'That's not news. You've been that way for years.'

I'm just saying, Voice.

It's very difficult to be that way, my way. When you look at society. When you look at everything around you.

It's one of the benefits of having an "alien" mind. I may as well be a dolphin. Or a swan. Well ... a dolphin, yes.

Dolphins are best.

Or ...

I could be a seagull, swooping down to take everyone's ice cream, and then flying off into the blue sky.

There's freedom in alienation.

Existential despair eventually becomes existential exultation - if you keep at it.

'That's not the case for everyone.'

All right. Those guys have a lower consciousness.

Words, words, words ...

You, you, you ... human!

Tell me anything you like ... your "philosophy", your beliefs, and try to convince me of your goodness - if you must.

It won't work. None of it!

I can't be reached by you BECAUSE ... I'm in the sky with my mouth stuffed full of ice cream.

Ha!

Or ... I'm in the sea.

Or ... I'm on the lake in the park???

NO!

I'm in the sea, yes. With my best friends, the dolphins.

I am a dolphin.

[No. 995] What god do I have to pray to?

To get one more big song.
