Nineteen years ago today we eloped and got married in Las Vegas. It was during my first work tour to America where literally no one showed up. My best mate who I first met when we were both nineteen. Like most long term couples I look at this and see a survival story, We survived drink, drugs, debt, ruptures, break ups, make ups, miscarriages, struggling for kids, struggling with kids, grief, depression, giving up everything to look after ill relatives, working together, working apart, careers imploding, me going wildly off the rails and somehow Andrea deciding to step off the train and walk the rest of that journey. We never wanted or planned to marry. It was never the point. It was just one adventure among many. We paid for a witness and chose the same chapel as Britney. It’s just good to understand someone and to be understood. I wouldn’t recommend our path but I am so glad we took it.

Absolutely the way to do it. You don’t speak it, you turn it into art. With people outside the stadium linking arms so ICE agents couldn’t enter, with the American President itching for him to fail, Bad Bunny did not ignore the mission. He elevated it. He didn’t bring a knife to a gunfight. He brought art. He brought a whole new game. Amid ugliness, he brought elegance. Amid despair, he brought a party. Add in the sugar cane and history and real Puerto Rican food stalls. Add in every Central and South American flag. Add in Gaga’s merengue version of Die With a Smile and it was everything MAGA isn’t and Benito represented the only real way to make America great again. With togetherness and joy and a postcolonial panAmerican Latin verve. Unlike fascism and fascists this was a show that could dance with its whole body. El amor siempre gana.

Here is a picture of my Dad reading The Midnight Train. I wrote The Midnight Train while my dad was going through cancer treatment. And the book is much inspired by my mum and dad because it is a love story partly set in 1960s Sheffield where they met. A lot of it is conjured from how my parents used to talk about that era. So means a lot to see him reading it.
