The Ballad of Tokyo Road

Photos from ‘Only Lonely’ – Bon Jovi. Polygram Records 1985.

Included in my reworked novella ‘Barren Point Road’, are four brand new short stories.

One of which is ‘The Ballad of Tokyo Road’, which I have attached below as a PDF to download with no strings attached.

The ‘Only Lonely’ music video mentioned in the story and featured in the photo montage above can be found at this link: – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfIu7hf5nqc

Although, I should put out a warning in advance, mainly over the acting skills on show during the song’s intro.

Thank you to my subscribers!

I am so appreciative of all the people who have shown an interest in both my videos on YouTube and the articles on this website.

For those who have subscribed and commented on my work, I cannot thank you enough.

I have attached my entrant into last year’s UK Storyteller Competition to download as a PDF for free, as my small way of saying ‘Thank You’.

I’m new to all this, so if the download doesn’t work I’d be terribly embarrassed.

Please let me know if you can’t access the file.

Engadine McDonalds

Street art on adjacent walls to the Engadine Macca’s car park are the only tribute to Scott Morrison and the infamous pants-shitting incident that took place there years ago.

Apparently, there was a plaque erected by a member of the voting public, but sadly it has been removed.

The Apennine Colossus

I’m not sure what has sparked the thousands of views of my video on YouTube during the last few weeks. Strange considering I uploaded the clip over two years ago.

Either way, if it’s the colossus you want, it’s the colossus you’ll get!

Below are all the photos I took on that wet and rainy Florence afternoon.
