United Estates

You Can Get Some Satisfaction

The hometown of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards will name streets on a new estate after their songs. Those being considered are Satisfaction Street, Ruby Tuesday Drive, Stones Avenue and Angie Mews. But police have warned that the signs could be stolen by Rolling Stones fans after Beatles fans in Liverpool stole road signs for Abbey Road and Penny Lane.

FOOTNOTE: Streets ahead.

Verse And Worse

Random Wit, Errant Rhyme. Not A Literary Crime

Hip-hop celebrity Venables Croad
Strode through THAT crossing at Abbey Road
He hired a cab that was once Don Cheadle’s
But never got mistaken for one of the beadles

Pier Pressure

An Appetite For Art

H'es ready to face the music. Former British radio DJ Mike Read, 57, has turned artist - creating a $9,000 picture of Brighton's West Pier - out of liquorice. Titled "Choc Art", it contains more than 20 pictures made of sweets including the liquorice pier and a Brighton rock concert made from - naturally enough - Brighton rock. He has also incorporated his love of music with versions of famous album covers such as The Beatles' "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and "Abbey Road".

All things Brighton beautiful, all features great and small.
