WARNING: This picture must only be used to accompany PA Feature HEALTH Mens Health. AS exclusively trailed in last week’s bombshell column, I am back in the city. I am also in the matrix. On the five-and-a-half hour drive, I experienced ten different seasons – sun, snow, hail, rain and so forth – but, as I approached the outskirts of Edinburgh, a luscious wash of post-rain sunshine coated the suburbs and made them look magical. I knew this would happen. I knew I was in the matrix. These things happen for a reason, which is basically that my life is being directed by beings from ooter space. Or maybe by a deity. Or maybe it’s just the cooncil.

Musician Eddie Van Halen of Van Halen died after a battle with throat cancer. He was 65 years old. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images). DO you like music? Oh, how interesting. So do I. We’ve so much in common. I riff on the subject this week, after a study showed music was as “addictive as drugs and drink”. As I don’t take drugs and only drink from Monday to Sunday, I wouldn’t know about that. But I know what the researchers at Canada’s McGill University are talking about, at least until the conversation turns to “The Nucleus Accumbens”. Don’t think I’ve heard of that band, though they sound a bit prog (indeed, I think I may have seen, or certainly heard, a jazz-rock band called Nucleus in the 1970s).
