Introduction   The following list was compiled piecemeal between early 2006 and late 2011, but consists of comparisons dating back decades. Some of these same comparisons are dubious for one reason or another, such as being made between some purported Carl Halling lookalikie and a mere photo for instance; or fleetingly or half-heartedly. And in certain cases, I find the supposed similarity little short of laughable. Nonetheless, all have been made at various stages of my existence by parties... Read Full Story

Wicked Cahoots When he made his first personal appearance in the dirty alley on someone else's rusty bike, screaming along in a cloud of dust it rendered us all speechless and motionless. But I was amazed that despite his grey-faced surliness, he was very affable with us... the bully with a naive and sentimental heart. He was so happy to hear that I liked his dad or that my mum liked him and he was welcome to come to tea with us at five twenty five... Our "adventures" were spectacular... Read Full Story

One thing is certain. Paul Runacles had not been born into a typically privileged upper middle class family, and so by the time he arrived at his college, he was bereft of a frame of reference; unlike the majority of his fellow pupils, weaned on the gilded sports of the British social elite.   And he escaped from his college once…like some kind of hysterical gymslip schoolgirl...just the once it was...around ’71 or ’72…to avoid being punished for something stupid he did.   It was an utterly...

     My father Patrick Clancy Halling was born in Rowella, Tasmania, in the beautiful Tamar Valley, but raised in the great city of Sydney as the youngest of three children born to Phyllis Mary Pinnock, all musically gifted, these being Peter the future cellist, Suzanne, known and Dinny, and Patrick himself, the boy violinist, who was something of a child prodigy. For at just eight years old, he won a scholarship to the Sydney Conservatory of Music, soloing, or so I’ve been led to believe... Read Full Story

Chapter One - The Coming of the Absaloms Introduction When it comes to the key events that helped to create the society that emerged in the American/Western World in the wake of the Second World War - arguably the most traumatic event in history - many would be inclined to cite the 1950s as the fulcrumic decade, and according to Charles Ealy, author of the article"Seeds of Change Sown in 1955", published in Nov. 2005 in The Dallas Morning News , that's especially true of its midpoint.  For...

      Chapter One – The Gambolling Baby Boomer   Birth of a Rock and Roll Child I was born a Londoner at the tail end of a street to the west of the city called Goldhawk Road, and my first home was a little workman's cottage in the long-demolished Bulmer Place in Notting Hill. You'll search in vain for this poky little street in any London map, although you’ll still be able to locate a Bulmer Mews tucked away some yards away from the main road of Notting Hill Gate.   On the day I was born...

In the late 1940s, Patrick Clancy Halling married my mother, the Canadian singer Ann Watt…born Angela Jean Watt to British-born parents in the city of Brandon, Manitoba. Her father, a builder and electrician, had been born into a Presbyterian family of probable Scottish extraction in Castlederg, County Tyrone, Ireland while her mother was from Glasgow; her own father a Mr Hazeldine possibly from Liverpool or Manchester, and her mother, a Scotswoman, which means that my mother is of mixed...

I was born Carl Robert Halling at the tail end of West London’s Goldhawk Road which is a bit of a no-man’s-land inasmuch as it’s the only part of the road – prominently featured Franc Roddam’s 1979 film of the Who’s “Quadrophenia” - not to bisect Shepherds Bush, being officially in Hammersmith, but considered by some to be part of the more bourgeois area of Chiswick. My first home was a small workman’s cottage in Notting Hill, but by the time of my brother's birth on the 2cnd May 1958, the... Read Full Story
