Blog Guelph: All YOU need is LOVE


John Lennon, originally uploaded by Jillshuggah.

Our 3rd GEM for this Friday comes from Jillshuggah - with the help of John Lennon and an unknown Northumberland Street graffiti artist.

To celebrate Valentine's and Family Day, make this Beatles tune your ear worm for the loooong weekend!

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy.
There's nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you
in time - It's easy.

All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
There's nothing you can know that isn't known.
Nothing you can see that isn't shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
It's easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
All you need is love (all together now)
All you need is love (everybody)
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.

Lennon/McCartney - From The Blue Album

iHappy Friday,

Blog Guelph: Guelph Rocks


rocks, originally uploaded by Jay Morrison.

Along with today's GEM - click on the foto to see more great shots by Jay Morrison - I'd like to share some fan mail that flew in Blog Guelph's door this week.


"I would just like to say I have spent nearly 30 mins look at your Guelph blog and loved everything on there.

I visited Guelph in 2003 to see my then partner who was attending Guelph University and I got to experience Guelph for 5 days and thought it was a great town (city?). Your blog has just reminded me of a great part of my past :)"


How nice is that?!

Rock on peeps.....

Blog Guelph: Blame


Then WHO'S fault IS IT?!, originally uploaded by JohnnyBallgame.

Liz Armstrong, Guy Dauncey and Anne Wordsworth have taken on the task of breaking down a huge and scary picture into 101 various sized chunks for us to chew on. Instead of blaming, the authors strive to pin responsibility on the right donkey then encourage that same beast to learn, evolve and take wise action.

It's a 300+ pager of well organized ideas that could easily be a primer if you're new to the question 'what can I do?' Or it will add additional fuel to your think tank if you're a life long green freak.

If you live in Guelph and want to own this cancer prevention bible, Liz is offering this super special deal - "One of the easiest ways to get the book is by having people send an email to me at liz@ican.net with full name, street address, city & postal code. I can CanPar a copy over to Guelph very inexpensively, and I will send the book on over for $25 total, including the delivery + a return envelope for the cheque payable to Liz Armstrong – c’est moi, eh?"

Bet she'll even sign your copy if you ask nicely.

Not from Guelph? You can buy your copies of Cancer - 101 Solutions To A Preventable Epidemic at this link.

It's the sunshine free apex of another week in good old Guelph Ontario and here's what I'm wondering. Who are Guelph's graffiti artists?

Here are nine selections of Guelph graffiti for you to ponder, enjoy, hate, love or ignore.

Blog Guelph: Interview With CFRU's Jan Hall


CFRU.Fm 93.3's ubiquitous radio host, the wonderful Jan Hall is the voice and brains behind Royal City Rag - the two hour Tuesday morning local news dish that starts at 7 AM.

Here's an E-terview I cooked up and spread lightly over 6 posts.

So then Jan Hall - do tell the blogosphere how you got your start in the wild world of Campus Community Radio?

Jan Hall: Radio is like a drug for me. My first taste was at WEFT90.1FM, a cool community radio station in Champaign-Urbana Illinois while doing specialty veterinary training. I had a Morning Menu show (music and information) then called "Letter from America" from 6-9 a.m. I got to play the Proclaimers every week! Had to give the show up for the sake of my career.

~interview continued in next blog post~

Blog Guelph: Royal City Rag


And finally, why should Blog Guelph readers care about Royal City Rag and CFRU?

Jan Hall: I like to think that CFRU is an important part of Guelph. I started my show to make a difference. I never felt that I really belonged in a community until I came to Guelph. CFRU is radio programming for the community by the community.
