Still the same one I was over there and there and there. (It’s not my bike!)
Posting mainly from Canterbury.
Im Sommer '23 hatte ich folgendes zum "Fall" Fabian Wolff geschrieben, nur @tagebuchat.bsky.social hatte den Mut, es zu veröffentlichen. Abonnieren immer noch und immer wieder empfohlen.

That’s interesting. He was great in the (Small) Faces.

Agree but only past 1973 or so. Here’s an even more heretical thought: Listen to Kenney Jones on the 1979 US tour live recordings on the new Who Are You reissue. Found myself thinking that may have been the best they ever played.

The Who not letting Daltrey back in after sacking him in ‘65 when he punched Moon and flushed all his speed down the toilet. Couldn’t have become that rock band with PT on lead vocals.

Darren, Eva says you sing like an angel, thought I’d let you know

Btw I think Melly’s question at the end is entirely valid. Can you talk about the mechanics of pop and at the same time keep up the conceit? It took a year, maybe less to prove you couldn’t (when the word “commercial” became a popular put-down)

This is so good. Melly would have known Pete’s dad from the jazz scene, so to him Pete would have been his mate’s possibly misguided but precocious son (hence the self-conscious “I’m actually into Charlie Parker” quote), and Melly was the older guy trying to understand what Pete’s dad wouldn’t.

Not bad. It would have been tragic
for the Pistols if the Sunday Times had endorsed them.

The only reason no one’s doing The Hollies is because it’s too hard. Not for the Twigs though.

So am I.
And I know from speaking to people that they habitually assume the craziest stuff, like I might be taxing my UK income in my “home” country etc.
That’s why this shit still works.

Will just say that if you are a dual national (which I’m not), Border Force will advise you to use your EU passport going out (easier) but your UK passport coming in (as you don’t have Settled Status because you don’t need it). As a result they can never know the correct numbers.
