"Made of Stone" is a single from The Stone Roses' eponymous debut album. Jackson Pollock is referenced (along with his work No. 5, 1948) in the B-side "Going Down" in the line "Passion looks like a painting, Jackson Pollock's No. 5".
Pollock's paintings influenced the cover art that guitarist John Squire did for the album, as well as the band's musical instruments.
The band made their début on national British TV by performing this song on BBC's cultural show The Late Show in September 1989. The power went out 60 seconds into the song and Ian Brown walked off shouting "amateurs...amateurs...we're wasting our time here lads".
The song was used during some of the road trip scenes in the 1997 American film, Heaven or Vegas. Also in the PSP 2005 videogame World Tour Soccer
The B-side "Guernica" (the title references Pablo Picasso's Guernica) is "Made of Stone" in reverse, but with unrelated lyrics.
John Squire said: "'Made of Stone' about making a wish and watching it happen. Like scoring a goal in a Cup final...on a Harley Electra Glide...dressed as Spider-Man".
Made of Stone is the first play by Leo Butler, first performed as part of the Young Writers' Festival at the Royal Court in London in 2000.
Butler called the play, which is named after the Stone Roses' 1989 song of the same title, his 'love letter' to Sheffield. Butler says that the starting point for any of his plays is an image here he claimed it was that of two brothers standing by their father's grave. The play centres on three brothers coming to terms with their father's death. Time Out praised it as a corrosive examination of manhood, capturing a regional way of living, once bound by heavy industry, manual labour and close, interlocking friendships, now brought to its knees.
The most famous scene in the play is an Oedipus complex scene where two teenagers have role play sex and the young man unbeknownst to the woman asks her to call him by his father's name while he calls her by his mother's. What's on in London praised it as one of the most excruciating scenes of teenage sex ever staged.

Heart Hampshire (formerly Ocean FM and Ocean Sound) was a British independent local radio station serving South Hampshire, West Sussex and the Isle of Wight primarily for Portsmouth, Winchester and Southampton. The station served an area of England with a high proportion of commuters to London and a higher-than-average disposable income from middle-class families and people over 45. Its target age range was 25-45.
History
Ocean Sound's predecessor, Radio Victory provided the first local commercial radio service in the South of England in 1975, with its small transmission area around Portsmouth. The station was disliked by the then regulator and when it Independent Broadcasting Authority re-advertised the Portsmouth licence to include Southampton and Winchester, Victory lost out to a new consortium called Ocean Sound Ltd. Ocean Sound proposed an expanded coverage area taking in Southampton. Radio Victory ceased operations in June 1986, three months earlier than the expiry date of its franchise, with a test transmission informing listeners of the unprecedented situation. Ocean Sound took over programme provision that October from a new purpose-built broadcast unit in a business park at Segensworth West on the western outskirts of Fareham, Hampshire.

History
Launching
Heart began broadcasting on 6 September 1994, as 100.7 Heart FM being the UK's third Independent Regional Radio station, five days after Century Radio and Jazz FM North West. The first song to be played on 100.7 Heart FM was "Something Got Me Started", by Simply Red. Its original format of "soft adult contemporary" music included artists such as Lionel Richie, Simply Red and Tina Turner. Reflecting this, its early slogan was 100.7 degrees cooler!.
Heart 106.2 began test transmissions in London in August 1995, prior to the station launch on 5 September. The test transmissions included live broadcasts of WPLJ from New York.
The Heart programming format was modified in 1996. The new format saw the "soft" AC music replaced with a generally more neutral Hot AC music playlist. Century 106 in the East Midlands became the third station of the Heart network in 2005 after GCap Media sold Century. Chrysalis' radio holdings were sold to Global Radio in 2007.

Made Of
by: ElviinI remember when I used to feel I was in control
"Man on top of world. man on top of world"
Everywhere I went people said that we'd last a whole lifetime as a whole going down that road.
All the time we spent together deep inside I thought I'd know if there was a problem that it would show
Proven evident that love is blind sight would come and go once my eyes had opened I was alone.
Will I ever be without you, able to see without you the life that we'd both planned through where did it all go wrong?
Hours feel like days, food don't taste like it did before
Brave face feels so false am I fine? yes of course.
Really cannot wait for this ache triggered by a thought to stay dormant or I find a cure
That would be amazing cause all this waiting pacing back and forth I just feel exhausted.
Highs and the lows take their toll on my heart and my soul wishing I weren't alone.
I don't believe that I'm going down
If I could forsee a way of coping now
I'd wear my heart on my sleeve and if I saw you I'd punch your lights out!
It's a little extreme but I've lost the plot and I need to get a hold of myself I know I won't forever be alone.
