Blog update: Did Half Man Half Biscuit - indie chart toppers in March 1986 - have anything to do with the Oi subgenre Punk Pathetique? Did it matter? And how did the "Caretaker's Band" at a Liverpool recording studio become cult sensations with a jokey tape anyway?

62 years ago today, a man left a building on this site at midday. He walked south on to Main Street, and headed through the crowds to Dealey Plaza. It was a clear, warm day, yet in his hand he carried an umbrella. That act inspired my next book.
