Black Sabbath in 1970 (from left): Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, Bill Ward and Ozzy Osbourne. Recently, in a small part of England, the world turned away from its troubles and the forces of heaviness were brought into the light, and formally acknowledged. And it was a good thing. Black Sabbath were officially recognised for their work.

Deputy opposition leader Sussan Ley delivers her Australia Day speech at Noreuil Park in Albury. Photo: BORDER MAILJust when we thought we were emerging from the silly season unscathed, along comes a politician to spoil it. Introducing the deputy opposition leader Sussan Ley. And thanks for nothing. No doubt Ley was trying to communicate a time in history through a modern equivalent, thus rendering it easier to comprehend.

Donald Trump and two of animated comedy South Park’s Canadian favourites, Terrance and Phillip. And so the second series of What Donald Did Next has begun airing. We could recap the main points of the first series, summarise the various plots, subplots, subsubplots, explore the characteristics of the main players and their roles, the cause and effect of their wild and wacky behaviour, those killed off, metaphorically, those who have survived, but let’s not. Life is too short.

Peter Dutton says it is ‘‘dividing our country unnecessarily’’ to fly the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags alongside the Australian flag. Photo AAPPeter Dutton demonstrated this week an appalling lack of basic numeracy. I’m sure it wasn’t front of mind. He was, after all, looking at the bigger picture, trying to gauge which way the wind blows. But still it happened. He took away two things from three and declared that the remaining one was bigger than the three.

Rosencrantz has bananas on his mind. Rosencrantz: Do you know Guildenstern, I hadn’t quite realised this to now, but there’s a real art to how you polish an apple. Guildenstern: Why thank you. I hadn’t even thought about it. It’s just natural to me. Rosencrantz: It’s as if you have a method to it.

There is no colour in the photograph. Indeed, there is no colour, front, back or inside. It is all black and white. Black on white, white on black. Gilmour on the back is depicted from neck up only, looking slightly down to one side. His face is studied, bewhiskered, the lines of age clear. It is classicism come to the present. It could be the face of a Roman or Greek philosopher or player of music of the spheres. Gilmour is 78. He has been a musician for nigh-on 60 years.
