It reminded me of the VW Poptop, though it's not quite a poptop, that played such a prominent role in James Mitchener's epic novel, The Drifters, which I read in my early youth and enjoyed so much and still rate as one of the most magnificent novels I've ever read. In truth these vehicles which became so associated with the Hippy Culture of the late 60's and early 70's, were from before my era but in later years we still saw a few of them, many bedecked in peace symbols and other protest artwork. What was this one doing there, and were there people living in it, probably, I didn't stay around long enough to find out. Hopped on my horse again and skipped town, but I thought it a wonderfully colourful and vibrant image and just another nostalgic reminder to us of times that we'll never see again! Video: Medicine Jar performed by Paul McCartney and Wings. The song, an anti drug opus was written by Scottish lead guitarist Jimmy McCulloch, who joined Wings in April 1974. McCulloch died from a heroin overdose in 1979 in his flat in Maida Vale, West London. He was 26.

SmugMug > keywords > the cape of all things > Megastructure Series: The Cape of all things View in X2 HAND HELD The following from www.fifa.com, edited by me to update and shorten: Cape Town has built a new stadium for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™. The stadium is in the suburb of Green Point, about 5 minutes from the city centre and nestled beneath Signal Hill and Table Mountain. Fans will be a stone's throw from the ocean and the mountains of Cape Town will be the backdrop for matches. The location is ideal as it is a short walk from the transportation hub of the city. Upon completion, the stadium will have a gross seating capacity of 70,000 and it is scheduled for completion by 2009. The 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa has offered the city the opportunity to build a multi-purpose international stadium that will be used for a variety of events after the tournament has left Cape Town's shores.
